acoustic transmitter tool floating

Their purpose is to provide me a way to consciously experience the environment and create a moment of awareness. Using them allows me to catch distant sounds, pollinate plants, track the intricate/complex movements of trees and experience my dependency on vegetation.

I staged the tools for an exhibition highlighting their function through movements, videos, sounds and a chemical reaction.
