Artist Statement:


    Vivid Frequencies is an augmented reality (AR) artwork that digitally recomposes the audio-visual landscape of the surrounding physical world in response to nearby plant species. It highlights temporal and spatial behaviours of the environment that are usually imperceptible to humans to accentuate how plants affect us – rather than the other way around.

    Translating data into a live visual language, Vivid Frequencies dismantles and reforms the image in relation to the species’ geographic origin, while the sonic composition signifies its age, conveying layered temporalities at play in our environment.

    Through this audio-visual code, the mobile device acts as a portal through which to tune into divergent, non-human scales of time and space that are interwoven with ours and returns the scientific information of botanic collections into living ecosystems.

    Vivid Frequencies forges a connection between digital and plant communication networks to extend the human into relationship with the vegetal world in new ways. It proposes that agency emerges through plant-human co-presence and contributes an expressive apparatus for interdisciplinary research in this field.
