Solo Exhibition - BIOSIGNAL

For the exhibition BIOSIGNAL, we present four new artworks, treating the biosignals of plants as the source. The artworks are able to perceive, metabolize, and react to the environment’s stimuli, while exchanging information (i.e., light, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric components) through hybrid artificial channels. The artworks form a hub system of signals that continually send feedback and regulate the environmental conditions in the exhibition space.

BIOSIGNAL aims to collect the biosignals from living creatures that are usually invisible to our senses and translate them using real-time data processing to expand our trans-species shared experiences and understanding of other organisms, sparking further discussions. Artworks are empowered with an experimental nature, extending the idea of hybridized organisms evolving processing abilities, communication, and collective decision-making. Once signals transcend the physical confines of individuals and travel across different species, interspecies boundaries will gradually begin to blur. The gallery is shaped into a semi-closed ecosystem consisting of interconnected individual signals. 

As the audience enters this new environment filled with non-human organisms as foreign stimuli, are we still seen as humans? Or do we become mere sensory neurons in this nature-dominated realm, from which escape is nowhere on the horizon?
