By sharing multiple cyborgs' biosignals, this system portrays multiple beings transcending an individual's physical confines and enables perception, feedback, and group decision-making on a wider scale. A key feature of this system is its interactive bone-conduction headphones, which let the audience listen to a sound field that includes ‘vibrations’ from nearby human activity detected by plant cyborgs, as well as warnings within the cyborg network responding to foreign disturbance and damage. This sound field invites audiences to close their eyes and listen attentively to plants while the biosignals and changes in sound reveal the presence of other entities in the space.
