LO-09 (on looking outwards) – [OLD FALL 2020] 15-104 • Introduction to Computing for Creative Practice

For this LO, I am looking at Bennett’s entry for the sound art LO-04. I agree with him in the sense that one of the more interesting parts of this project is the sound that is created, a smooth earthy tone that changes mildly or drastically depending on the external environments. However, I don’t quite agree with the amount of creator input that Bennett implies in this LO. The creator passes through the micro-voltage fluctuations into a oscillator that reads the frequency of the waves thus creating the sounds generated, so I personally think that the sounds generated reflect the “true tones” of the plant. Perhaps the creator intended this to be a single item project, I wonder what the tones created from various types of plants could differ from one another.
