AI can identify patterns in plant ultrasounds. That does not mean it has “translated” what a plant is saying.

Between finding a correlation and assigning meaning lies science, context, caution and many unanswered questions. 🌱🧠🔊

#PUAProject #AI #Bioacoustics

A plant ultrasound atlas is only as useful as its context.

Species, genotype, growth stage, water, salinity, temperature, humidity, recording setup, noise sources…

PUA is not only collecting sounds. It is building a framework for better questions. 🌱🔊

#PUAProject

🌿🔊 Cada sonido cuenta una historia.

@puaproject.bsky.social  acaba de publicar en @jxbotany.bsky.social un review sobre lo que sabemos —y lo que aún nos queda por descubrir— acerca de los ultrasonidos que emiten las plantas.

#PlantBioacoustics #PUAProject

The @PUAproject consists of a collaboration between artists and scientists to create an atlas of the ultrasounds produced by different plants under different environmental conditions

Un atlas sonoro no es una playlist.

Cada ultrasonido vegetal necesita contexto: especie, desarrollo, condiciones de cultivo, estado de la planta y método de registro.

Solo así una señal aislada puede convertirse en una pista para investigar. 🌿🔊

#PUAProject #PlantScience

📢 27 NOV · La Casa Encendida
Evento: Ultrasonidos de plantas, inteligencia vegetal e IA
Organiza @puaproject.bsky.social con @ibmcp.bsky.social, @tallerestampa.bsky.social y @fundacioncarasso.bsky.social
#PUAproject #ArteCiencia #Posthumanismo redacts.org/ultrasonidos...

A plant ultrasound is more than a sound file.

To understand it, we need context: species, growth stage, conditions, recording setup and noise sources.

PUA aims to connect signals and context in an open, expandable atlas. 🌱🔊

#PUAProject

Human hearing is not the limit of the acoustic world.

PUA records plant ultrasounds beyond our auditory range and connects them with species, conditions and context.

Not to claim we already understand plants, but to create better conditions for asking questions. 🌱🔊

#PUAProject

What happens acoustically when a plant is damaged?

PUA includes Glycine max recorded after mechanical injury to a leaf.

The aim is not to jump to conclusions, but to compare signals, species and conditions with scientific caution. 🌱🔊

#PUAProject

La IA puede detectar patrones en ultrasonidos vegetales.

Pero patrón no significa automáticamente significado.

En PUA, la IA no “traduce” a las plantas: ayuda a explorar relaciones entre señales, especies y condiciones con cautela científica. 🌿🧠

#PUAProject

In PUA, art does not simply illustrate science.

It helps create an encounter with real signals that humans cannot perceive directly. Science, AI and artistic research meet around one question: what do we leave out when we assume plants are silent? 🌿🔊

#PUAProject #ArtScience

¿Conoces la web de PUA – Plant Ultrasound Atlas 🌱

Un proyecto que registra ultrasonidos de plantas, los analiza con IA y los transforma en una instalación artística y una base de datos abierta para escuchar otras formas de vida.
