The work materializes in 5 translucent screens, in which real-time imaging and sound of the site’s flora and fauna are projected. The images are obtained through portable usb microscopes, and the sound is captured with ultrasonic microphones, set to record only a certain range of frequencies. The sound is converted to visual imaging and processed in real-time, along with the images, through a Raspbery Pi computer.
This mix between human, technological and biological inputs is projected into the screens, resulting in an interspecies artwork. The circular shapes suggest a comment on the optical devices of the eye, and the lens, at the same time evoking the materiality of Petri plates, used in scientific experiments. The installation functions as a living lens that provides the magical ability to access an occult dimension, prompting the public to reflect upon the importance and complexity of the small living organisms that surround us.
