A multimedia installation where plants transform into musicians, playing percussion instruments like gongs and Tibetan bowls to create a meditative soundscape.

Special sensors monitor the micro-fluctuations in the plants' electrical conductivity, offering a glimpse into processes such as photosynthesis and chloroplast movement.

In real-time, this biological data is processed through custom software, transforming plant signals into acoustic sounds via mechanical circuits. These circuits are engineered to strike resonant objects, thus sonifying computer data into lush, organic soundscapes. The installation probes the boundaries of algorithmically generated music, merging scientific experimentation with artistic expression.

Equipped with custom hardware, innovative 3D-printed mechanisms, and Max/MSP software, Contem.plant examines the artist's role in a digital ecosystem. It highlights the interplay between human, machine, and nature, enabling visualization of internal processes in plants that would otherwise remain hidden.
