“How do you keep yourself sane?”
In an environment saturated with noise—traffic, alarms, constant digital inputs—moments of mental clarity are rare. This project responds to a simple yet pressing question: how can we reclaim a sense of peace in the midst of continuous external disruption?

The Singing Plant Headpiece, detects subtle bio-signals through conductive threads and metal clips attached to the plant. These signals are interpreted in real time by a programmed microcircuit and transformed into ‘live’ sound. The bioelectric responses are mapped using capacitance data, which is then translated into ambient audio frequencies via a microcontroller interface.

By listening to real-time music from the plant while wearing the headpiece, one can own the sound of peace metaphorically whilst being the root of the microenvironment in a momentary shelter.
