Time Displacement / Chemobrionic Garden, interactive generative (chemical) sound installation exploring a relationship between hydrothermal chemistry, the passage of time, and evolution of sound. The project consists of several small chemical garden formations in a water glass (sodium metasilicate) solution, to provide an insight into research on chemical processes and the origin of life. The chemical reactions are monitored by cameras to detect changes in colour and shape by means of microcontrollers. The changes affect the code for live sound generation, and slowly alter the generative drone composition pervading the exhibition space. The slow changes in sound evade the scale of human perception.
