Second Saturday Open Studio: Hear Plants Sing

Visit the working studio of Austin artists Elena Lipkowski and Dolphin Brown during Second Saturday at Art Hub ATX. This month, Dolphin Brown will offer live PlantWave demonstrations throughout the afternoon, showing how subtle changes in a living plant’s electrical conductivity can be translated into real-time musical data and sound. Brown incorporates sound derived through PlantWave into selected moving-image works, and the demonstrations offer a closer look at the relationship between natural systems, digital technology, sound, and the creative process behind the work. Brown creates limited-edition video paintings and immersive moving-image works composed through light, motion, sound, and time.
