Photosynthesis

An art installation of wired metal tree sculpture using LEDs to visualize photosynthesis

Steven Gutierez, a faculty member at the Cleveland Institute of Art, demonstrates our symbiotic relationship with plants and trees through interactive art. This welded metal sculpture uses LEDs to visualize photsynthesis. Sensors embedded in the tree sense carbon dioxide so that as observers breathe onto the tree the lights react as they "process" the breath back into oxygen.
