For two months as part of an internship at the Bio Art laboratories, I was responsible for the research and development of the Tree Antenna project. A means at which to harness trees and convert them into telecommunications resources by channeling electro magnetic fields through the sap flow within trees. The culmination of the project resulted in a demonstration and workshop at an international school in Eindhoven.
