Make music by poking plants at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Tech meets nature in Adrienne Adar's new exhibit, creating a new way for people to interact with botany.
A new botanical exhibit in Brooklyn invites visitors to interact with plants in a whole new way — by listening to them.
Adrienne Adar’s “Sonic Succulents: Plant Sounds and Vibrations,” which opens today at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, amplifies potted plants and turns them into musical instruments.
“To audiolize, to listen to them, I think gives them more of an individuality; to understand that they are doing things all the time and moving and feeling things in their environment,” Adar told the Brooklyn Eagle.
