Installation
In the ‘Tree Listening Installation’ my specifically designed sensor is placed on a chosen tree, and is then linked to 9 headphones that are then hung from the branches. This allows the public to listen to the sound of the sound the water being pulled up from the roots to the leaves through the xylem tube.
This water movement is what keeps the tree alive by proving the leaves with the necessary water to turn into sugar as a source of food, and as part of the cooling system on a hot sunny day.
