The project is developed as a situated research practice in Asturias, with a particular focus on the region's native plant species.
The work unfolds through a collaborative process involving different forms of life—plants, humans, and machines—brought together in what Donna Haraway describes as making-with in Staying with the Trouble. The resulting drawings emerge in response to the conditions of the plants and their environment, creating a poetic representation of multispecies relationships. This approach offers an alternative perspective on interactions between human and non-human beings, embracing uncertainty while deepening our understanding of the species with whom we share the planet.
The project is inherently process-based. Building on previous research, it employs a plant sensor based on plant electrophysiology, developed by the artists, which records the biochemical state of plants in their natural habitat. These measurements reflect both environmental conditions and interactions with other living beings and technologies. During fieldwork, each plant is connected to these sensors, and the resulting signals are translated into drawings by a machine designed specifically for this project.
The project therefore consists of several interconnected elements: the drawing machine, the drawings generated from data collected in the plants' natural environment, and audiovisual documentation recording the process.
