The Algaephones are bio sonic sculptures which I created as an experiment in design in relationship with another organism. Over the course of a year, I spent time observing and cultivating a sample of Chlorella Vugaris algae. Instead of jumping straight into research I spent a period observing how the algae behaved in different temperatures, light levels, and other growth conditions. From this process of observation I stared designing growth scaffolding and bioreactors from what I learned. I wanted to translate the algal growth and vibrancy into something more experiential and immediate for human senses and decided to translate the algae's growth into tones that would fluctuate with the increased growth of the algae. The resulting sculptural bioreactors interface with a microprocessor to create a loud tone whose timbre and pitch is modified by algal growth.
