The molecular ordering of computational plants is a narrative sound installation created with composer Tyler Friedman. Against an electro-acoustic backdrop a chorus of humanoid voices announce a utopian and post-human history of human degeneracy in the face of increasing digitalization: limbs and physical movement become redundant and humankind, connected by a collective superconsciousness, moves back into the oceans as glowing unicellular organisms. While this immersive story is woven around the listener in a progressively darkening exhibition space bioluminescent algae light up, visualizing our unicellular future in the Earth’s oceans suggested by the audio play.
