Photosynthesis / The Butterfly Effect
︎Exhibtion design: Liisi Soroush, Jennifer Lipkin and Lea Randebrock
︎IoT implementation: Ville Hiltunen, Sunil Basnet, Mubarak Nauman
︎Sound design: Liisi Soroush & J. Camilo Sánchez Carranco
︎@ FLASH Vallisaari
︎2018
︎Photosynthesis is an immersive art installation where the digital merges with the natural. The title refers to the metamorphosis that makes life possible. In this process light is transformed to a form of stored energy, creating oxygen as a by-product.
Enabled by IoT items visitors can engage
themselves in this evolution. As in nature, the installation will have elements of unpredictable change, engaging the visitor. Where there is life, there is serendipity.
The installation was made by students from Aalto - University’s Neppi-course.
︎The Butterfly Effect is a sonic immersion in connection with the light installation Photosynthesis.
Field recordings of Vallisaari and synthetic soundscapes merge under the wings of bats and butterflies. This hybrid soundscape is then followed by the sonic articulations created by the surrounding environment produced by both nature and human beings.
The evolution of the soundscape triggered by the flight of bats and butterfly wings are the guide to the processes of the evolutionary story. In a state of consciousness level, these representations walk the visitor along with the exhibition space.

Along with these rooms, the diverse soundscape of this island is represented, manipulated and revolved around a multichannel audio system. The point of climax unfolds into the photosynthesis process in a form of basic elements such as oxygen, light and water.
