zero station presents an installation by Michael Huggins (Portland, ME) and Nick Lally (Oakland, CA) opening on July 5th.
The two artists have filled the gallery with Japanese Knotweed, a fast growing invasive weed harvested from the surrounding area. The plants, together with visitors’ bodies, modulate a complex sound installation as electric signals connect the plants, humans, and electronics. Did you know that plants communicate with each other using sound waves? Come talk to to some plants that are taking over the northeast.
The artists will be serving snacks made from Knotweed during the opening.
I recently put together a bike-powered USB charger for touring, pictured above. You can find all the details on the Vintage MTB site.
I recently got my Raspberry Pi working and set it up as an FM transmitter for my upcoming Location to Station project. So much potential for this tiny computer!
