Dear Gregory Lasserre  Anais,

thank you very much for the introduction of your artworks. I have two questions:

Johannes Birringer already asked several times what are the extraordinary 
characteristics of Plant Art in relation to New Media. During my research on 
Artistic Human Plant Interfaces 
(http://blog.derhess.de/human-plant-interfaces/) and in particular for the 
research on Biosensing with plant 
(http://blog.derhess.de/2014/06/14/biosensing-for-human-computer-interactions/),
 I receive quite often the critiques that I and the other projects just 
use/utilize plants. Some people even argue that plants get harmed during the 
interactions. What are your experiences in that context? How do you deal with 
the caused emotions by the participants? What is your motivation to to work 
with plants as interactive material? and what makes plants for you so 
extraordinary for art projects?

My second comprehensive question is more about technical issues. During my 
research on biosensing methods, I figured out that the device has to be 
callibrate frequently. The signal differences is kinda a problem when you want 
to get reliable data for interpreting the signal. Also in real life, I 
experienced during a workshop with Leslie Garcia 
(http://lessnullvoid.cc/pulsum/) and in a short conversation with Philipp 
Schlössler 
(http://www.disneyresearch.com/project/botanicus-interacticus-interactive-plant-technology/)
 this kinda fundamental problem. The environmental and the plant lifecycle 
parameter causes a big noise, which I would provokingly describe as random. How 
do you deal with this problem in your installations? Do you would say the plant 
is nothing more than a random data generator?

Thank you very much in advance and I am looking forward to your reply.

Best regards
Florian

Dear member of the list

Natasha Myers have invited us to present our interactive artwork with sonorous 
plants on this list.

Also here it is.

We are the artists : Scenocosme : Gregory Lasserre  Anais met den Ancxt

In our interactive artwork installation we mix technology and natural element 
like plants, water, wood, stone, human body etc..

Here is the link to more information about our best sensitive artworks with 
natural element

Akousmaflore : Sensitive and interactive musical plants

Phonofolium : interactive and sonorous tree

Matière sensible

Lights contacts, interactive installation with human body

Fluides : interactive installation with water
http://www.scenocosme.com/fluides_e.htm

Kymapetra, mineral interactive installation
http://www.scenocosme.com/kimapetra_en.htm
  


Akousmaflore : our artwork with interactive musical plants is one of our most 
famous one
Since 2007 we have exhibited this installation in several digital art festival 
and contemporary art museum in different country.

In fact in this kind of artwork we are quite interested by the influences of 
the human body : The electrostatic influences of the body.


We also invite you to look at our PDF publication about our artworks and 
artistic approach here

Dear Graham Teeple,

I totally agree with you that the Human Plant Interaction should investigated more. The possible interactions could be not only in one direction, it has many different forms. An plant interface could also works on our visual sense as well as the tactile senses. Beyond that many different applications can be implemented like connected plants, interaction between plants and environments and so on. I did a research on these topics, which might be interesting for you all:

Thank you very much for explaining and sharing your sensor approach in such a detail with us!



All the best from Berlin
