Biodata Sonification

For my senior project, I decided to create a project that addresses the relationships between physical space, sound, nature, and technology, After initial experiments in Touchdesigner, I wanted to try my hand at something more complex: using MIDI data generated by plants to control projected visuals. What sparked my interest in this type of project was my professor's mention of the MIDI Sprout, a device that he owned and would let me borrow to complete the project. After weeks of exploring different aesthetics for the projection, I ended up settling on using PBR materials in TouchDesigner to create abstract 3D visuals that remind me of the similarities between how plants and electronics operate.
