Meditative Symbiosis is a transdisciplinary project that explores a state of interdependence between a living organism and an electronic system, looking for an aesthetic result of this digital-biological process. In special containers, a plant's photosyntesis process is readed by carbon dioxide sensors, creating real-time data which is processed by computers. From this data, generative graphic patterns are created, which then "returns" to the plant being projected over its surface, and influencing again its photosynthesis by the intensity of light and the graphic patterns variation. All this process creates a constant cycle of data while the plant grows and the digital pattern evolves in a mutual dependence.

The next images belongs to different exhibitions between 2017 to 2019:

Bellavista Art Gallery in Santiago (2017); Contemporary art Museum of Valdivia (2018),Contemporary Art Museum of Santiago, Chile (2019) and Ars Electronica Festival 2019.

In parallel, this project has also itinerated on many talks about its aesthetic-scientific-philosophical research, like Universidad de los Andes (Arte+Ciencia Symposium), Contemporary Art Museum (Campo Abierto Symposium) ot Ars Electrónica 2019 (Chilean Artists Talk) among others; making emphasis not only on the technical aspects but also on the transdisciplonary methodology of work.

From 2019 the project integrates Karin Astudillo (philosopher) and Camilo Gouet (biologist) as authors; and Esteban Norambuena (industrial designer), Mauricio Hormazabal (computer engineer), Victor Norambuena (industrial designer) and Gonzalo Olave (electrical engineer) as important colaborators. The laboratory for the current activities is Fablab U. Chile.
