TAKIDO Dorita “Energeia Cycle”
OPEN SITE 9 | Open Call Program【Exhibition】
This work incorporates a variety of power generation mechanisms: a microbial fuel cell that symbiotically interacts with plants, an algal battery harnessing photosynthesis, and a fuel cell powered by the electrolysis of water. Minor electrical currents produced by each mechanism are channeled back to the plants, with the goal of boosting their growth through electrical stimulation. The work offers an opportunity to reconsider fundamental natural cycles and explore the relationship between the natural world and electricity as a human tool.

Profile
Takido Dorita synthesizes divergent functions and senses, delivering experiences that disrupt conventional perceptions and create new connections between humans and other life forms. Among her works are those that explore evolutionary potential by probing the intersection of robotics, biology, and botany, including by equipping plants with artificial muscles. Recent exhibitions: “Japan Media Arts Festival exhibition ‘AUDIBLE SENSES’,” Omotedando Hills Space O, Tokyo, 2022, etc.
