"Bacteria Battery #5 is an installation of Biotricity series where the fluctuations of electrical energy generated by microbial fuel cells are sonified in eight channel sound environment. The installation consists of 12 – 16 microbial fuel cells where the electricity is generated by bacteria living in a mud, eight speakers and video of microscopical images of the bacteria manipulated by the live sound." | "Bacteria Battery #5 is an installation of Biotricity series where the fluctuations of electrical energy generated by microbial fuel cells are sonified in eight channel sound environment.

/Institute for Inconspicuous Languages: Reading Lips/ is an attempt to repeat this experiment the linguist and polyglot Mi Yu did with ficus trees (Ficus benjamina). The trees monitor the amount of water they take up through their roots by opening and closing the stomata that are found on their leaves. By implementing Pavlov conditioning, Mi Yu could teach the ficus basic signs for 'more', 'less' and 'stop' over a course of four years. The ficus would open its mouths and she would respond with a code of light. | |||
