Grow Plant Ears
Mission by Trismegisto 'Herbert' Taraxi
What would a city sound like through plant ears? What would a city sound like if humans could hear what plants 'hear': changes in light, moisture, wind, tactile sensations, chemical signals, sound… Alternatively: what humanly audible sounds should we amplify/subdue to experience the plants' sensory spectrum? Can we make music that can be enjoyed by both people and plants?
- Create a sensing apparatus and an instrument able to translate weather and light into a sound composition, to be played to humans first, then to plants and humans simultaneously
- Observe whether anything changes over time
NOTE: this mission can be a speculative design exercise, or an engineering challenge, depending on your skill and interest level
