The piece is inspired by DNA code and the garden. All sounds coming from the speakers are generated digitally with the synthesizer (Elektron Monomachine). The rest of the sound material is coming live from the garden itself. The piece is blurring the boundaries between nature and synthetic sounds. Visual part of the piece generated by Rodrigo Garcia Dutra is made of vectorised photographs played through live interactive and generative video software (Isadora). The pictures were recombined through different composite modes and then synchronized and interfered with music.

This project was part of collaboration between visual artists from Byam Shaw of Central St Martins College of Art & Design and composers from University of York organised by Quenington Sculpture Trust. Exposed during Fresh Air 2009.
