Art does not change the world; art is training for the brain.
Electronics with Plants
Small electrodes are fixed at the leaves. An electric connection to the
surface of the leaf is created. The electrodes are plugged into a
sensitive measuring amplifier.
During the measurement, obviously delicate, absolute irregular tension
variations occur, which can be visualized by a voltmeter. The
processes, which take place, are unknown to a great extent. According
to my experiences, electric tensions, created by electrostatic charge,
diminish.
The signals, gained in such a way, can be used for controlling /
regulation, f.e. to modify the frequence of a sound-generator
accordingly.
Only by using loudspeakers, these sounds can be made audible. A
permanent, chirping glissando can be heard, which can be used as
random, electronic phonogramm for improvisatory music.
