Symphonia Phytophonica | Concert installation for plant sonification and bioacoustics
Concert-installation in 5 movements, for plant sonification, sensors, lights and electronics. The electrical signal of various plants is converted into sound and light, turning them into active musicians. A critique of the exploitation of the environment and a redefinition of creativity through the fusion of technology and nature.

"Symphonia Phytophonica" is an immersive concert experience and participatory installation that employs the transformation of electrical signals from plants into captivating soundscapes and light shows. The ensemble employs custom-built sensors and amplifiers to capture these signals and transform them through digital algorithms, thereby creating a live performance in which plants are not merely objects but active musicians. This approach not only challenges the assumption that AI is replacing human creativity but also serves as a critique of human exploitation of nature. The event aims to change audience perceptions and make visible the complex inner workings of plants and their creative potential. Through this rethinking, we aim to initiate a broader discourse on the ethical implications of the role of technology in society and the environment, and advocate for a future in which technology enriches the natural world rather than exploiting it.https://www.stuttgart.de/veranstaltungskalender/veranstaltungen/symphonia-phytophonica-485461.php
