Create a symphony of sound and light while exploring the invisible worlds of electromagnetic fields between all living things.
Floragraph takes the hidden phenomenon of electro-magnetic fields and renders them real to our ears and eyes as sound and light that vary depending on the distance, motion, and vibe of your person.
This piece features a real plant, speaker, and screen atop a generatively designed platform with no hidden strings or cameras.
THE EXPERIENCE
Upon first encountering Floragraph a flutter of sound occurs… “How did that happen…?”
A bout of curiosity brings you closer and upon further inspection you wave your hand and more sound, of a different timbre, appears.
“Woah, is that because…?”
The cycle continues for without direct instruction you continue to investigate on your own to discover how the phenomenon is happening.
You try touching the plant with a water bottle, nothing… Your head… more sound! Can it be that this is detecting my mere bodily presence??
This process of discovery yielding insight and “Aha!” moments by your own intuition is what this piece - and Sensebellum - is all about! Who knew that invisible fields of electromagnetic waves exist around all living things?
“Wait, does that mean a forest is also like this…?”
Floragraph is a guaranteed hit at any gathering where curious minds meet for entertainment and elation - events, music festivals, conferences, museums, and more.
