The Living Room
presented by 30-06
A bio-reactive journey revealing the invisible conversations between plants and place. Opening June 27 at Foreland in Catskill, New York.
The Living Room transforms Foreland’s Tower Stair into a living sensing environment.

Conductive sensors read changes moving through plant tissues. These bioelectric shifts respond to moisture, light, temperature, vibration, touch, air movement, and the surrounding atmosphere. These signals are converted into control data, creating a live stream of information that moves from the plants into the installation system.
SENSING SYSTEM

The visual language extends this structure into line and motion. Branching forms, evolving geometries, radial patterns, and dissolving fields echo systems found across nature: roots, rivers, lightning, circuitry, neural pathways, vascular systems, and cycles of decay.
Structure
The installation is structured as a vertical score. Across the Tower Stair, Root(1), Growth(2), Bloom(3), and Decay(4) create a sequence of sculptural, visual, and sonic encounters.
Each work occupies a different position within the architecture, allowing the installation to unfold through movement rather than from a single fixed viewpoint.
Sound is organized through zones and layers. Live sonic material emerges from plant activity and moves through the stairwell as fields of pulse, tone, vibration, texture, and resonance. These layers are not isolated. They overlap, bleed, and accumulate as visitors ascend or descend, so each position in the tower reveals a different composition.
