Plant Being is an audiovisual installation generated entirely by a plant, whose natural electrical signal is measured in real time and transformed into sounds and images. A technological ode to nature. 

When plants express themselves, they have the potential to become musicians or video creators. The immersive installation Plant Being is a case in point – a plant’s electrical activity is recorded in real time and transformed into sound and visual landscapes. The result is a sensory experience in which technology becomes a tool for vegetal expression. 

Sensors pick up on the plant’s electrical impulses and make them perceptible to people – technology becomes a tool for expanding humans’ awareness of their environment. Alongside the sensory experience, Plant Being sows the seeds of a desirable future in which digital innovations are used to restore nature’s place in the world. 

→ Another version of the work is being presented in the Illusions Rediscovered exhibition at CENTQUATRE-PARIS from 11 October 2025 to 11 January 2026.
