Sonomatter（2017）是一个声音装置和表演，将微生物的生物电信号转化为声音。这项工作从建造Winogradsky Columns开始，用泥浆和水制造一个小型生态系统，并用微生物燃料电池（MFC）产生电信号。随着时间的推移，微生物将产生电力，并最终在缺乏营养时死亡。生物电控制振荡器（BCO）电路将生物电转换为声音的同时，消耗生物电能量来控制振荡器的声音。在这部作品中，泥被看作是一种物质，暗示着生与死之间的循环关系，因为生与死的现象发生在同一种物质中。泥土吸收了尸体等没有价值的东西，并将其消化成营养物质来生长生物。通过土壤、水等有机物与淤泥中呼吸、氧化等自然现象的相互作用，可以描述微生物圈的诗意。它描述了一个微观世界中的共生关系。因此，该项目不仅是对生命物质和自然现象之间相互作用的隐喻性探索，而且还探索了能量收集和发声的领域。
Sonomatter (2017) is a sound installation and performance that transforms the bioelectrical signals from microorganisms into sound. This work starts with building Winogradsky Columns to make a small ecosystem out of mud and water and generate an electric signal with a Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). As time proceeds, the microbes will create electricity and eventually die when they lack nutrients. A customdesigned Bioelectricity-Controlled-Oscillator (BCO) circuit converts the bioelectricity to sound at the same time, it consumes the (bioelectrical) energy to control the sound of the oscillator. In this work, mud is seen as a matter that implies a circular relationship between life and death because life and death phenomenon happen in the same material. Mud takes in valueless things such as dead bodies and digest it into nutrients to grow living things. A poetics of microbial sphere can be described throughout the interaction between organic matters such as soil and water, and natural phenomenon such as respiration and oxidation in the mud. It describes a symbiotic relationship in a microcosm. The project is thus not only a metaphorical exploration of the interaction between living matters and natural phenomena, but it also explores the domain of energy harvesting as well as sonification.
