Akousmaflore - Sensitive and interactive musical plants

Description of the interactive garden
Akousmaflore is a garden made with real musical and interactive plants or flowers. Each plant reacts to the human touch of a spectator by a specific sound language.Our aura is hot, electric and invisible. It can act here on the vegetable foliages by offering the experiment of a reactive environment. When the spectators caress the plants, they start to sing. Become sensitive musical instruments, they make it possible to compose a floral orchestration.


Preamble : alliance between nature and digital
In our artwork we are create possible hybridizations between plant and digital technologie. The plants are natural and alive sensors, sensitive to various energy flows.
Digital technologies allow us to do possible relation to plant alive.
We are interested in the random relation related to data flow, and sound interaction. We approach here a treatment, a modification of the data related on the strolling about the spectators in the artwork. The spectators will be able to touch and interact with a musical universe already changing. The gestures and the movements of the spectators will make it possible to generate sound flows with varied fluctuations.

Approach : invisible design
Our body produces a biological territory which constitutes a kind of electric aura. This subtle phenomenon makes an imperceptible trace in our immediate environment. In the continuity of our territory of research and action: the "invisible design ", our approach consists to underline this phenomenon.
By mixing reality and imaginary, we propose here a sensory experiment which questions human energy relations with the alive beings. The domestic plants often have an ambiguous status which oscillates between object of decoration and alive being.
We point out that our environment is not made with inert things, but alive, reactive with our biological territory. The plants point out their existence by a cry, a song, an acoustic vibration.
