Listening Exercise

Prepared by Prof. Kerstin Ergenzinger

This listening–sensing exercise is designed to connect you with your non-visual senses as you explore different sites. Its purpose is to deepen your relationship with each location and enable you to compare and understand them in relation to one another.

Measurement of electrical potentials in plants

Prepared by Mindaugas Gapševičius

This experiment offers insight into the electrochemical activity of living organisms such as plants, fungi, or even humans. By tracking a specimen over time—especially across the day—you may observe fluctuations in its bioelectric activity, reflecting internal and environmental changes. The experiment builds on Martin Howse's Interspecies Communication Platform (See for details: Kuni, V., Landwehr, D. Home Made Bio-Electronic Art).

Soil Chemistry

Prepared by Felix Bonowski

This set of experiments explores the invisible chemical properties of soils and ashes through color indicators, extraction techniques, and flame tests. These procedures highlight transformations in soil composition and provide insight into environmental processes such as erosion, mineral dissolution, and chemical reactivity.
