Meditative Symbiosis

Jean Danton Laffert (CL), Karin Astudillo (CL), Camilo Gouet (CL)

Meditative Symbiosis is a trans-disciplinary project that explores the interdependence of a living organism and an electronic system. Composed of containers with plants and sensors inside, a cycle of mutual dependence is created between the growing process of the plants and the dynamic adaptation of the system, the sum of which generates an evolutionary, bio-electronic aesthetic.

Hortus Luminis

Theresa Vogt (DE)

Photosynthesis is an elementary part of everyday life. Nevertheless, our esteem for plants and other phototrophic organisms is limited. This may be due to the fact that most of their biological procedures are not visible to the naked eye. But they can be experienced through a microscope. Hortus Luminis creates a new level of interpretation that deals with the hidden energy of plants and other organisms. The application uses the data from an analogue microscope to grow digital plants.
