ARCADIA
ARCADIA
for George Mason University
Arcadia is an interactive sound and light installation created by Sam Nester that uses the biorhythms of plants to create music and corresponding light cues. It works by converting the fluctuations in galvanic conductance of plants to MIDI data to control MIDI instruments in realtime - "plants making music."
For this iteration of Arcadia, Sam tasked Paige with designing and programming the system of light that responds in real time to the plants MIDI data 24hrs a day for 365 days straight. For more information, take a look at GMU’s presentation of the project or the Twitch Stream of the installation that will be live until November of 2021.
