Beyon Human Perception
Video installation + plants connected to sensors and visualization in real time. Earthbound – In Dialogue with Nature. Esch2022. Luxemburg. 2022
The artwork is a video installation that allows the audience to visualize and compare the reactions of humans and plants to a common stimulus; live music. Erasing boundaries into the communication and understanding between both living beings and by highlighting the immediate reactions of plants to their surrounding changes.
The installation is the result of several sessions where the brain activity of humans was measured, through the EEG registered wave, and measuring the electrical oscillations that are happening into the plants, measured with a sensor developed by the artists, able to detect immediate changes in plants.
Through the use of mathematics, by using the Fast Fourier Transform, humans data and plants data are able to compare each other. This data can also be displayed graphically thanks to an algorithm developed by the artists that allow the audience to see the data through the shape of little spheres that are moving within the geometric shape of torus. Each little sphere represent each data registered. The graphic representation of human data and plant data can be seen simultaneously in a video allowing the audience to find patterns by comparing the both living beings reactions to the live music.
The video below is part of the videointallation. It has been adapted to a single screen. The whole work duration is 30 minutes.
