An accelerometer is attached to a plant growing outdoors and records the motion of the stalk swaying in the breeze.

Even the slightest puff produces data, which are transmitted into the installation space to 42 tiltable mechanical elements, each of which is mounted on the stalk of a dried plant.

In real time and coordinated with wind conditions outside, the array of plants gracefully executes its synchronized dance.

Ein Beschleunigungsmesser ist an einer Pflanze im Freien angebracht und nimmt die Bewegungen des im Wind schwankenden Stiels auf.

Jeder kleinste Windstoß produziert Daten, die an die 42 kippbaren mechanischen Elemente im Inneren übertragen werden, an denen jeweils eine getrocknete Pflanze angebracht ist.

In Echtzeit und im Gleichklang mit den äußeren Windverhältnissen setzt sich schließlich eine Gruppe von Pflanzen wieder in Bewegung.
