Throughout 30 minutes the intra-action (Barad, 2007) between the artist and space/time immersion in technological nature is observed by the audience. The public is guided through the experimentation process whilst the performer generates the live soundscape through the biodata visualization system emitted from the plants temporarily inhabiting the installation.

The installation evokes elemental materials such as light, water, air, earth, and electricity for the creation of the biophilic piece in constant transition and dialogue with its environment. The glass objects are designed to guide the growth of the stem and roots of the plant, incorporating the plants movement as part of the sculpture, creating a piece that evolves over time. By ceasing and perceiving, we reflect upon what it means to be human habiting the natural environment, challenging our perception of non-human intelligence.
