+=== Concept ===
+Often, plants and organisms are built from repeating patterns. But also processes tend to function in patterns such as the transport of nutrients or movements while growing.
+These patterns are used to generate rhythms, and combining these create organic growing / evolving soundscape.
+=== Technical Solution ===
+The organism gets observed through a microscope and the recorded live image gets processed.
+Image processing is done in multiple steps. Firstly, the feed from the camera is turned in a grayscale image and additionally into a pure black and white image using a threshold.
+This monochromatic image is additionally broken down into a 5 by 5 matrix. By comparing these matrices to a pre defined set of "rules" patterns can be matched and used as trigges and control data for the sonification.
+The data gets processed in Max/MSP. Max is either used for sonification in a mono or stereo image.
+=== Aesthetic outcome ===
+The outcome of this an installation where the viewer can observe the plants and organisms and listen to the sonification.
