Post-Natural Prototypes (Phytosemiotic Expressions) is the culmination of research I conducted as part of the AR(t)IBMCP (https://artibmcp NULL.upv NULL.es/) residency in Valencia, Spain. Collaborating with scientists from the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Plant Biology of Valencia, IBMCP (UPV-CSIC) consisted of genetically modifying plants so that they develop observable morphological changes as they grow and are subject to environmental stress (such as drought). These changes are captured as images, which are then used to train an artificial intelligence system that on the one hand transforms them into sounds, and on the other generates alterations in the plants’ environment (inducing drought or adding water, adding hormones, changing the temperature, etc.).
