biosonification

A Costa Rica-based maker has turned to translating the electrical signals of plants into sound, a practice known as biosonification, and says they do the same with their sourdough SCOBY. The project is framed as a counterpoint to manipulative advertising on Instagram, offering something 'real' instead of distressing fake-disaster ads. Interest in plant music and off-grid, solarpunk-style projects continues to grow among hobbyists.
