A new interdisciplinary installation in the Tyler atrium, "Living Circuits: A System of Exchange," showcases a dynamic collaboration between the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Boyer College of Music and Dance and the Office of Sustainability.⁠
⁠
Using plant-based sensors alongside PlantWave and Pocket SCÍON technology, subtle electrical activity in the plants is translated into sound while conductive materials, found in the metal sculptures adjacent to each plant, allow visitors to enter the system through touch.⁠
⁠
At the center of the exhibition is a repurposed hydroponic garden that circulates water and nutrients, contributing to the interactive sound garden. ⁠
⁠
The hydroponic garden, originally designed and built by student leaders from Engineers for Climate Action with support from an Office of Sustainability Green Grant, continues to evolve through reuse. After the installation, it will support alternative photographic processes and be an extension of Tyler’s natural dye garden.⁠
⁠
The project was made possible by Erin Rose Boyle, Laurie Beck Peterson, Sandra James, Liv Rogers, Steph Haynesworth, Alejandro Sanoja, Rebecca Collins, and Bryce Forys. ⁠
⁠
"Living Circuits: A System of Exchange" will be on display until Monday, September 7.
