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. | Often, plants and organisms are built from repeating patterns.

The | 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. | |||
