PHYTOPOIESIS
SCENOCOSME: Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs Met Den Ancxt
Phytopoiesis is an interactive visual and sound art installation composed of a living plant capable of generating images using artificial intelligence.
This interactive artwork presents a plant that reacts to the human touch. Sensitive to our electrostatic energy, it reacts to our touch and proximity with evolving sound characters and images.
By being interfaced with a computer, the plant has the ability to send requests: prompts to an artificial intelligence in order to generate original images resulting from hybridization between plant organisms and human beings. The images change and appear in real time on the screen in front of it.
Mixing flesh, sap, blood, body, leaves, roots, spines, hair,... the organic forms of the images evolve, creating a visual experience that is constantly renewing itself for visitors.
SCENOCOSME: Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs Met Den Ancxt (France) singular artworks use diverse media: interactive installations, visual art, digital art, sound art, collective performances, etc. Scenocosme mix art and digital technology to find substances of dreams, poetry, sensitivity and delicacy. These artists overturn various technologies in order to create contemporary artworks. Their works come from possible hybridizations between the technology and living world (plants, stones, water, wood, humans, etc.) which meeting points inspire them to create sensitive and poetic languages. Most of their interactive artworks have relationships between the human body and the environment. It can feel energetic variations of living beings and design interactive stagings in which spectators share extraordinary sensory experiences.
