Flora

Pim Boreel (NL)

Flora is a living audiovisual installation that explores the relationship between human beings, technology and nature. This installation is an airtight glass cube, totally cut off from the outside world. Within this cube, an ecosystem is growing based on condensation. Fractal-like spores are taking shape on the glass. When drops of condensation hit sensors inside the installation, light and sound impulses are set in motion. Set within a dark space, this creates an experience for the audience around the living entity that is Flora.

These volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the communication system of the plants and produce what we recognize as the fragrance of a forest.
