Experimental ElectroCulture (EXEC) Workshop

Experimental ElectroCulture (EXEC) Workshop

Electroculture is the practice of applying electricity, magnetism, monochrome light, and sound to plants to stimulate their growth and improve their health.

Come join TeZ in 5 small electroculture experiments, using DIY technologies and techniques to harvest and recycle otherwise unused sources of solar (photocells), water (kinetic) and atmospheric (electrostatic) energy, to improve plant growth.

Tez is the resident-artist of the 2015 Art/Science Residency Programme, a partnership between Tembusu College, IDMI at NUS and the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.

RINGO

An experiment whereby a heavy copper wire is looped around a plant to collect and concentrate oscillation energy from extremely high frequency cosmic rays.

AQUAWATTZ

An experiment to transform computer fans into turbine generators, recycling the energy from running water in the aquaponics system.

BIRDBOX

An experiment to design a solar-charged, micro sound box that imitates the sound of birds to sonically stimulate the plants.

EARTHBEAT

An experiment to adapt a C.E.S. circuit to generate a biphasic electric signal, and pulse microcurrents- Schumann (Earth) resonance 7.83Hz and its harmonics- into the soil via stainless steel electrodes.

LUCKY SOLAR PULSE

An experiment to hack the circuit inside the solar-powered “Lucky Cat” to produce a periodic electrical spike to pulse the soil.
