What does it take to grow a real tree? Why does humanity keep ‘growing’ endlessly the cable trees, with the wires spreading into every part of our lives? Everything in the universe is interconnected, woven in a complex web of relationships that transcend the boundaries between living and non-living

This piece reflects today's rapid pace of technological development and consumption. It is inspired by urban life where trees are replaced by electric poles, highlighting the need to strike a balance between technological progress and environmental conservation. It challenges the idea of human exceptionalism and urges to ‘grow’ a more sustainable and just world for all; rooted in the interconnectedness of all beings, woven in a complex web of relationships that transcends the boundaries between living and non-living.

This installation and the recorded soundscapes result from field and research-based practice work with found and collected e-waste. It includes a light sensor developed in the Physical computing lab that impacts the sound modulation through Arduino & Max 8 Integration depending on the phase of the day and the amount of light in the environment.
