Algaphon is a hybrid installation where algae bubbles that ring at Minnaert frequency near algal filaments are rendered audible through a hydrophone. Online visitors can leave a voice message that is translated into photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) variations in a remote aquarium. The response of the algae bubble response to human speech is then recorded and sent back to the visitor to engage in a reflective dialog with algal species.
