An interesting project using Data Visualization....

Life Support Systems - Vanda (2004) by Mateusz Herczka









Life Support Systems - Vanda is an attempt to analyze electrical signals
from the vanda hybrida orchid, and apply language modeling techniques
to these signals in a computer. The result is a virtual model, which
continues to generate similar signals long after the original orchids are
gone - a kind of computerized longevity. Vandas language and behaviour
model is stored in a hacked Microsoft Xbox, its future container. It can be
accessed at any time, should one want to experience the essence of Vanda
again. The work is installed as a kind of laboratorium with life support
facilities for the orchids, a computer visualization of the language model,
the Xbox, and the generated signals presented as sound. Besides turning a
scientific experiment into an aesthetic construct, the work
tangents questions of consciousness, longevity, and new lifeforms through
computing.
