Week 11: Final Setup and adjustment for My immersive Installation ‘Silence Pulse’

After completing the testing in Week 10, I purchased a live evening primrose plant online to prepare for the final phase of testing and debugging. Since the virtual plant model used in the immersive installation is based on the evening primrose, incorporating the same species into the physical setup helped ensure that the signal transmission between real and virtual components would appear seamless to the audience, enhancing the overall visual experience. During this stage, the Arduino device successfully captured the plant’s bioelectrical signals in real time. These signals were then processed using a custom Python script, converting the data into audible sound output. Finally, in TouchDesigner, the sound was mapped to generate a responsive audiovisual experience, resulting in a species-specific soundscape and corresponding visual patterns. This phase confirmed the full integration of both hardware and software components and allowed me to ensure that the installation could effectively reveal biological expressions that are normally invisible or inaudible in everyday life.
