Acoustic Botany presents a garden for listening. Benqué suggests a combination of plant manipulations: from grafting and selective breeding methods to genetic manipulation and synthetic biology, to make flowers and plants produce sounds. What if you could listen to a garden, instead of looking at it? What would be possible soundscapes? What would the experience be like? But also, how would greenhouses be adapted? What set of rules would one need to take into account?
By presenting a fantastical acoustic garden, a controlled ecosystem of entertainment, Benqué aims to explore our cultural and aesthetic relationship to nature, and to question its future in the age of Synthetic Biology.

If some of these photos look familiar, they probably are - I'm organising my photos from 2008, and taking the oppertunity to rework some of them and either upload for the first time, or replace older photos.
