evocation


I have been looking into plant intelligence and the reactionary systems within their root structures. I have been looking at electromagnetism and the transmittance of photons as light specifically -- stimulation through varying oscillations and the electric charges that attract or repel. I have been looking at the power of movement in plants and how different stressors affect them. What is the transmembrane potential of plant systems and the potential of those membranes as capacitors. I have been looking at probes that measure the ionic currents driven through cells and tissues to encourage motion and development. Thinking about a response system that simultaneously measures the current ionic activity and emits different frequencies to create different reactions or stimulants.

I have found plant studies that show carbon plucked from the air to forge defensive compounds, airborne alarm cells, and resistance influencing chemical release.



I am interested in the relationship between plant neurobiology and existing ecosystems, the ability for vegetation to begin to fortify itself against existing or future conditions. I have been thinking about a series of devices that encourage reactions among root structures specifically, ie. growth, defensive chemical release, siphonic activity, and reproduction. Obviously, all of these thoughts are in the very early stages of development, as to how they will function, communicate and realize potential of existing systems.

One of these devices takes into account the components of a probe that measures electric currents through conductive medias, as well as capturing/reading enzymes and chemicals that are released in response to current conditions. Another releases proteins encouraging reactions in response to those conditions. What are the communications between the "brains" of plant root structures and these systems? How can the device imitate and/or strengthen natural signals? What are the traces of an ecosystem as it fails? How can a system analyze distress signals and subsequently help transmit them? As it evolves, the project is a series of devices that transforms/assists/regenerates existing ecosystems.

I have also been working out how these devices are powered and could they survive on certain energies? Could they harness any potential through crude oil? for siphonic attempts specifically? how would the others survive?
