I wanted to work with music and bacteria and that lead me to find works of people | I wanted to work with music and bacteria and that lead me to find works of people who tried to influence another organisms through music, one of the most common examples is plants. I found information of people that claimed that classical music helped their plants grow better. This lead me to find more about the electrical signals in plants, plants do have electrical signals and can feel (to call it somehow). Many people has being studying and experimenting with this idea or at least the idea of making music through plants and its electrical signals. Here are some examples: | ||

Based on the lecture of Jakob von Uexküll and the first idea that came to me about architecture being the simplest form of artificial umwelt, I broke apart the word "artificial" "art" and "fiction". And I found a very interesting meaning there. I'm still trying to figure out in which direction I want to take this, but I believe there is something interesting in its depths. | |||
'''What to do?''' | |||
I want to analyze the electrical signals from the plant Mimosa Pudica, a plant that is characterized for its sensitivity to touch. Coming from those analysis, I want to give them a sound, better said, translate these electrical signals to music and then create an artificial piece of music to see if I can make Mimosa pudica react to these sounds in a positive and visible way through its leaves. This to me would be a very special way of creating an artificial umwelt for the plant. | |||
'''Things to think about...''' | |||
Umwelt from the plant: light, water (humidity), temperature and nutrition. For mimosa pudica we can add the touch of another living thing. | |||
