 Sound Environment for the Botanical Garden in Berlin

Each flower and plant tell visitors a story of Antique Greek Mythology, from which its names was derived. If a visitor steps in front of a plant, he activates a directional loudspeaker hidden in the soil and the plant. The loudspeaker is setup so, that the whispering is coming from the related plant itself. Volume and the directional characteristic of the loudspeaker also ensure that the story is heard only in the range of the respective plant and that other visitors are not disturbed
