When left alone, energy tends to move, grow and balance as spirals.

The "Plantron" is a bioelectric interface developed by botanist Yuji Dohgane.

By means of an electrode attached to a leaf, the interface reads the automatic leaf
potentials of a plant and directs this information to the Interactive Brainwave
Visual Analyzer (IBVA), a software that analyzes the potentials in real time.

January 2003, festival

organisers (Alexei Shulgin, Olga Goriunova, Alex Mc Lean, and others)
established a comprehensive web portal for software art RUNME.ORG.
Containing at present more than 60 categories, RUNME is an evolving
conceptual map of what I see as the larger meaning of the term "software
art": the significant, diverse, and real creative activities at the
intersections between culture, art, and software.
