iGarden
Living sound installation, 2008

In iGarden, a discarded laptop is rescued from its future as a pollution source and re-imagined as a place of growth and life. Each empty crevice in the laptop is filled with soil, planted with grass seeds and watered daily. As the water seeps through the keys, circuit boards, and dirt, the entire structure—both living and non-living—becomes a conductive antenna.
As the grass grows or visitors touch the grass, the electromagnetic fields change slowly. Using simple electronics, these natural changes are transformed into sound and amplified in the installation space.
