Experience Plants Communicating at the Greenhouse Silent Disco
Greenhouse Silent Disco is an an immersive installation that attempts to translate the silent language of plants.
Have you ever stopped to consider what plants communicate to us and each other" Greenhouse Silent Disco, an immersive installation that made its debut at the Polish Pavilion at the 23rd Triennale Milano International Exhibition has. On display through December 11th, it attempts to translate the silent language of plants in this futuristic greenhouse. It’s filled with lush vegetation and digital sensors that capture the reactions of the plants to stimuli, including the visitors who pass through the installation and the weather, that are transformed into LED lights and sounds.
What do the plants in Greenhouse Silent Disco use to communicate" Through the excess light they receive that’s not used during photosynthesis, also referred to as chlorophyll fluorescence. This turns their needs into parameters that humans can understand. Plants have a lot of abilities ? to feel and assess gravity, sense electromagnetic fields and the level of humidity, notice vibrations, and communicate within their community and between different species. We just have to know how to listen. ?The greenhouse of the future is like a disco. The LED lights vary from blue to red and white depending on the plants? needs. For example, they change color if it is cloudy or raining outside the greenhouse,? explains plant physiologist Hazem Kalaji.
