Phytopoiesis is an interactive visual and sound-based art installation. It is composed of a living plant capable of generating images using artificial intelligence.

Phytopoiesis generates images that are constantly renewed. It produces prompts and is interfaced with OpenAI’s Stable Diffusion. This plant dreams of hybridizing with human beings.

Phytopoiesis is an interactive visual and sound art installation composed of a living plant capable of generating images using artificial intelligence. This interactive artwork presents a plant that reacts to human touch. Sensitive to our electrostatic energy, it responds to our touch and proximity with evolving sounds and images. Connected to a computer, the plant can send requests—or prompts—to an artificial intelligence to generate original images resulting from hybridization between plant organisms and human beings.

The images change and appear in real time on the screen in front of the plant. Mixing flesh, sap, blood, body, leaves, roots, spines, and hair, the organic forms of the images evolve, creating a visual experience that is constantly renewing for visitors.

Our art installations offer sensitive interactions with the environment to enhance symbolic connections between human beings and plant life. This interactive plant installation, hybridized with an AI, aims to question the human/plant parity and to shake up established relationships of domination and submission.

In this installation, as in most of our artworks, we aim to create a symbolic mirror with the body, generating sensitive interactions that question our contemporary relationships with the environment.

This artwork is a continuation of our interactive and sensory artistic approach, with plants reacting to the contact and caresses of spectators through sound responses.
