Recent studies suggest that plants are able to experience electromagnetic fields and react to them. The movement-responsive sound installation electro|botanic speculates on this perception of plants. Through sonification, humans can interact with the plant’s perception fields. The possibility that plants can experience human presence is a form of Science Fiction. A speculation upon a scientific discovery that would create a shift in human perception, and THE conception of reality.
