Cyborg Plants

Branching System (top two) and Study for Lit from Within (bottom) are the 2 of the current exhibits at Brooklyn’s Dam, Stuhltrager gallery. There designed by Ryan Wolfe.
Branching System is based in the theories of Edward Lorenz, who created the “butterfly effect” concept of Chaos Theory and Study for Lit from Within pairs living plants with LED lights in a dark room. The lights are surgically embedded into the actual plants and operate on a programmed schedule of sunrise and sunset. Each plant’s “internal sunshine” allows for photosynthesis, thus keeping it alive while creating a striking, futuristic display.
