Seasonal Currents
A living system where computation follows ecological cycles
Seasonal Currents explores seasonal computing through a living system built from e-waste and plants. Discarded circuit boards, wires and broken electronic fragments become the ground in which plants grow — material that re-enters ecological cycles, where what was extracted from the earth begins to return to it.
Water circulates continuously through the system. As it raises the surrounding humidity, a sensor makes the animation on the screen glitch and fragment: the digital image becomes unstable in response to environmental change, revealing computation as something shaped by seasonal conditions rather than fixed and autonomous.
The water is collected and returned in a closed loop. Merging living growth with obsolete electronics, the work questions the boundary between the organic and the artificial.
