Flora ex Machina is a sound installation acting as a public sensory organ. It is a new way to experience the Beatrixpark and the complex hidden sounds of its trees. While the park’s soundscape is filled with people talking, birds chirping, trains passing and music playing, there are certain layers of sounds in the park not available to us, because they do not travel through the air.

Each tree is represented by a unique Omnidirectional speaker sculpture, creating an immersive experience that isolates only the sound inside of the trunks of these trees.
