The Air Between Us is a new media exploration through a cybernetic approach, integrating electronic sensors with biological systems. By creating two isolated plant systems and analyzing their environmental data, the work attempts to simulate and observe potential interaction and "communication" between the living organisms through the shared mechanism. | The Air Between Us is a new media exploration through a cybernetic approach, integrating electronic sensors with biological systems.

A Helleborus in a sealed autoclave bag containing MS Media and several Sundew plants in a glass jar with the same cultivation medium serve as the two independent systems. Due to the constraints of placing sensors directly inside the sealed environments, I decided to create a shared mechanism that using custom-made transparent plastic boxes. Inside each box, an MQ-2 gas sensor and a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor were installed to measure emitted gases and environmental conditions, which were channeled through plastic tubes extended from the sealed plants environment. A third sensor box acts as a bridge between the two plant systems, capturing any atmospheric interactions that may arise when they are connected. | |||
