about

" Internal Garden " is an active research project carried out by UK sound artist Justin Wiggan. Working with the Italian company Music of The Plants' device MU1 , Justin explored the signals registered from various plants biometric data. By deciphering and registering the impulses and interactions of plants, they have developed a device that uses a MIDI interface to transform the impedance from a leaf to the root system of a plant into music.

So intrigued by the results of his experiments of this device, which gives voice to plant perception, he wanted to push his connection with plant life furthermore.This resulted in the experiment with sending the plants signal from the device into his Body, as an immersive physical dimensional field.This was achieved by connecting the MU1 to a Subpac.

A SUBPAC is a wearable technology that pulses sound through the body mass with three layers of immersion by haptics vibrations of surface on skin, proprioceptive registration of changes in force, and pressure and bone conduction. The experiment was successful; plant and person became one.

It's Justin's focus to adapt this approach of new perception of delicate inter species languages, which impacts on the participants health and awareness about the consciousness of nature.

The first research experiments were carried out in Cornwall at the Fish Factory Art's Space for a handful of people, to experience the sonification and vibrational energy of plants. The reactions have now given way to a structural application. Being written for the use of the technology, to be used in places which nature cannot be accessed so easily (prisons, etc.) to facilitate memory health about green spaces.

The recordings here are the second set of experiments.

Here the grey room between fact and fiction is blurred. Applying the notion of remote placement - a device of visualization within the fictional realm , Wiggan has allowed his concept of Internal Garden to be expanded as a piece of emotional architecture / empathy theatre.

The two pieces here are located in the private worlds of Rick Deckard , a bounty hunter who becomes a specialist plainclothes police officer with the San Francisco Police Department in the early 21st century, responsible for killing androids that escape from off-world colonies , and Éric Alfred Leslie Satie, a phonometrician and French composer and pianist just prior to his composing of the "Gymnopédies" in 1887.

These pieces allow the listener to be flies on the walls of the apartments of both men, a means of subtle intrusion and delicate surveillance. As if both Deckard and Satie had invented Internal Garden themselves as a meditative tool of well being. Sit back and relax, imagine yourself watching both men contemplating the universe of the plant world as they hook up their apartment plants and zone in to the sonic investigation of nature's code.

Immerse yourself in the phonic portraits and cross pollination of personality traits, hive mind knowledge, and plant extraction
