Venue(s):

• MACBA – Convent dels Àngels, Barcelona, Spain

• Sun Eaters, a physical computing installation installed in plants, measures the invisible bioelectricity which is present in all living beings, and translates it into visible light for viewers to see. Through the exploration of art as sensing tool, I am exploring how we relate to the non-human plant world(s) around us. Can artworks act as an empirical interface for grasping our complex, interwoven, beyond-human ecologies of present-day Earth and ways of thinking about them? How do you imagine your relationship with a plant differently when you can physically see it?
