Programme

Jason Hotchkiss  – Sonic Shrubbery: an  ensemble of simple oscillators hang among the plants and use tiny changes in their electrical conductivity to create a symphony of bleepiness.  Sprouting MIDI: minute electrical signals from plants are monitored and used to create a sequence of notes.  Photo Synthesis:  a set of solar powered sound oscillators, hung together like a child’s mobile, is suspended from the trees.
