Apercevoir: Bio Internet of Things Interactive System

Published:17 October 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

Apercevoir is an artwork that can perceive its environmental perturbations and convert them into a spatial sound field with location information. It consists of multiple plant cyborgs comprised of a Mimosa Pudica (sensitive plant) connected to a bioamplifier and can sense human movements by analyzing the biosignals with a machine learning model. Through sharing multiple cyborgs' biosignals, this network portrays the concept of multiple beings transcending an individual's physical confines to form a Bio Internet of Things (IOT) system capable of perception, feedback, and group decision-making within a wider scope. A particular feature of this system is its interactive bone induction headphones, where the audience can listen to a sound field including 'vibrations' of nearby human activities detected by plant cyborgs, and even warnings among the cyborg network responding to foreign disturbance and damage. This sound field invites audiences to close their eyes and listen attentively to plants while the biosignals and changes in sound reveal the presence of other entities in the space.
