thomas hawranke (köln): Sensobotanics

A plant becomes an Ego-Shooter

 

 

The activity of photosynthesis evoked by light controls the first person shooter game in the background of the plant. Hereby, the installation Sensobotanics establishes an active connection between the real, experienced time of the plant and the reaction time based video game. The real, physically existing plant is standing in front of the monitor, on which an animated jungle world in the virtual space can be seen. The integration of disparate concepts of time and space – plant vs. video game – blurs the edges of perception.www.thomashawranke.com
