About the project

Skopos is an audiovisual installation exploring the boundaries between human, plant, and artificial intelligence.

A self-trained generative AI model creates imagery from a database of plant structures, textures and organic materials. The system responds to live electromagnetic signals measured from a living plant, using this data as input to shape the evolving visual landscape.

The project asks how intelligence manifests beyond the human, in machines, plants and collective networks, and whether artificial intelligence can become a medium to sense with rather than a tool to control.

Skopos was developed with sound designer Leon Andres, who translated the plant’s live signals into an evolving soundscape.
