A transmitter powered by electricity generated from the garden sends water temperature data as radio signals to a nearby server. These incoming signals generate and manipulate written text, triggering poetry to grow and ferment. The transmission occurs irregularly, depending on bacterial activity and the electricity it produces. Here, poetry becomes a disruption of language—our semantic algorithm that underpins reason. Created collectively through workshops and meet-ups, this work is a speculative experiment in how cultivating and fermenting electricity with bacterial mud cells might bring our relationship with technology closer to the unruly, vibrant dimensions of life.
