๐ŸŒ Earth Day AR Art Gallery:

An Earth Day 2023 project blending biosonification, 3D photogrammetry, fashion, and digital interactivity into a living dialogue between humans and nature.

Concept

How can technology reveal unseen connections between people and the natural world?
I created an experience where plant bio-signals became soundscapes guiding my painting and 3D artwork. These pieces were then digitized with AI-assisted photogrammetry (Gaussian splats) to live inside an interactive online gallery. Collaborating with fashion design, we extended the theme of adaptation and pattern โ€” with headwear inspired by ancient crustaceans whose movements once patterned beaches in Japan.

Process

๐ŸŽต Biosonification โ†’ Plant signals โ†’ sound โ†’ creative input for painting/sculpture.
๐ŸŽจ 3D Artwork โ†’ Created paintings & objects, guided by sound.
๐ŸŒ Photogrammetry โ†’ AI-assisted scans brought physical pieces into 3D digital space.
๐Ÿ‘— Fashion Collaboration โ†’ Ancient patterns reimagined as wearable art.
๐Ÿ’ป Digital Gallery โ†’ Website where anyone could explore these hybrid works.

The Work

View post on TikTok
Titled Plants vs. Humans, this project explored the harmony and contrast between humans and plants. The gallery unfolded across four distinct spaces, transporting visitors into multi-dimensional artworks that combined biosonification, 3D objects, mixed reality portals, and AI-assisted design. A snapshot of my creative systems work โ€” building tools and experiences that scale across art, technology, and storytelling.

Galleries ๐ŸŽจ:

Multi-dimensional Artworks ๐ŸŽถ: These pieces offered depth and sound, immersing viewers in a sensory experience.
3D Objects ๐ŸŒบ: Sculptures and installations that highlight the intricate beauty of nature juxtaposed by digital consumption which pulls us away from it.
Mixed Reality Portals ๐Ÿ”ฎ: Windows into potential futures for our planet, both utopian and dystopian.
Cultural & Nature-Inspired Fashion ๐Ÿƒ: A showcase of fashion inspired by nature and diverse cultures, emphasizing the beauty and art of the natural world.
Biosonification Art ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŽต: Artworks created while listening to music derived from plant electrical impulses, translated into melodies.

Message ๐Ÿ’Œ:

The gallery served as a poignant reminder that plants are living entities. When humans and plants thrive in harmony, we sustain each other, fostering a balanced ecosystem.

Technical Aspects ๐Ÿ”ง๐ŸŒ:

The AR experience was meticulously crafted using a combination of cutting-edge tools and technologies. Web design principles ensured the website's user-friendly interface, while Reality Composer allowed for rich AR interactions. The AR QuickLook feature facilitated instant AR previews, and with asset hosting, users enjoyed seamless 3D AR experiences.
