Stealth Wear: New Designs for Countersurveillance

Astrovandalistas We are a translocal collective that focuses on the development of projects that combine research, artistic action, technology, activism, urban hacking and open knowledge produced from each of these processes. Founded in Tijuana in 2010, the collective is based in Mexico City, with members in different geographical locations throughout the world. We work as a laboratory of decentralized action, and our strategy is to generate low budget technologies that can be easily replicated by people in different places. Our work is influenced by low-budget, DIY, DIWO cultures and the free software and open hardware movements.

Pulsu(m) Plantae is a project that empirically analyzes which are the mechanisms that plants use to communicate and also how their own biological processes are a manifestation of communication, seemingly intangible to our senses.

The project involves the design of an audible prosthesis, based on the biofeedback principle, a technique that focuses on obtaining various physiological functions data of an organic body, using instruments to obtain information of the cycles and operation of these living systems. The prostheses * transduce biofeedback obtained readings in a sound synthesis process, thereby producing an abstract voice for plants.
