Phytopoiesis

Phytopoiesis Interactive plant and Artificial Intelligence Phytopoiesis is an interactive visual and sound art installation. It is composed of a living plant capable of generating images using artificial intelligence. Phytopoiesis generates images that are constantly renewed. This plant dreams of hybridizing with human beings. It generates prompts, and is interfaced with the open AI Stable Diffusion : an eco-responsible artificial intelligence system : open-source and running locally (without internet connection). Phytopoïesis is an interactive visual and sound art installation composed of a living plant capable of generating images using artificial intelligence. This interactive artwork present 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. Our art installations offer sensitive interactions with the environment, in order to enhance symbolic connections between human beings and plant beings. This interactive plant installation hybridized with an AI tends to question the human/plant parity, and to shake up the established relations of domination and submission. In this installation like in most of our atworks, we want to create a symbolic mirror with the body, in order to generate sensitive interactions that question our contemporary relationships with the environment. This artwork is a continuation of our interactive and sensory artistic approach whith plants reacting to the contact and caresses of the spectators through sound behaviours and also our artistic exploration of hybridizations between nature and technology, a process we have been developing since 2007. https://www.scenocosme.com/phytopoiesis_e.htm
