Autoinducer_Ph-1 (cross-cultural chemistry)
Andrew Gracie (US)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 “Hybrid Art. Honorary Mention.”
Autoinducer_Ph-1 is a "cross cultural chemistry" installation that stages traditional Asian rice cultivation techniques in the context of the machinic nature of ecologies. With its pond-like structures, electronics, laboratory and hydroponics equipment, the performative piece connects the organic protagonists of the installation to a synthetic software-based "bacteria" that interacts with them in its assumed roles of symbiont and parasite. Autoinducer_Ph-1 creates a functioning symbiosis between a real (organic) ecosystem and a synthetic (virtual) one, establishing a uniquely “hybrid” bi-directional feedback.
