TrichomesAI

TrichomesAI is an artistic, site-specific installation that explores the interaction between plants, humans, and artificial intelligence.

Plants are complex ecosystems with imperceptible communication strategies whose ultimate goal is adaptability. While resilience is often associated with rigid materials like metal, adaptability defines the living intelligence of plants, to say their capacity to respond to external stimuli with flexibility and transformation.
This quality becomes even more evident when human presence enters the equation.

Plants and humans have always coexisted. However, human interaction with nature is growing increasingly distant.
Technology is often seen as the primary driver of the planet we currently inhabit. But what if we could use it to reverse this process? How might AI forge new pathways of interaction between plants and humans?

Using environmental data – growth patterns, light, moisture, temperature – the AI generates a continuous stream of artworks, evolving into an interactive, site-specific installation that transforms biological signals into visual language, reflecting cycles of life, spiritual inheritance, and duality: scientific and sacred, natural wisdom and system of control. The series offers a poetic meditation on transformation, resilience, and unseen forces shaping our world.

The final installation presents a seamless integration of all elements: active terrariums with sensor systems, original artworks, their digital twins, and real-time data visualizations, inviting visitors to reconnect with nature through art and technology.

TrichomesAI aims to create an intimate and individual artistic experience by encouraging visitors to listen to the plants and interact with the surrounding space as a way to reconnect with nature through the subtle mediation of technology.
