Data-farm is a generative sound installation. This installation collects and monitors micro-current data from plants, converting it into electronic music in real time. Simultaneously, the plant's signals control LED lights and infusion devices for real-time nutrient distribution, thereby influencing the plant's micro-current patterns over longer cycles, resulting in a feedback loop.

Data-farm draws plants as a medium to explore the essence of “life” in the world of dataism: the object of data extraction and the subject of passive consumption. Data is extracted from individuals in various ways and is recognised and deciphered by higher-dimensional data machines. Data processing organises computations that allocate refined "personalised content" back to individuals for consumption, thereby exerting a profound influence on individuals over longer time scales. This pattern is prevalent in human society, especially online environments, by monitoring people's behaviours and preferences to create information bubbles, is a prime example. We may be like "cultivated plants or livestock" in a data farm. Through the use of unconventional and unsettling visual and auditory elements, 'Data Farm' serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the dystopian aspects of the data-driven world we inhabit today, with the intention of prompting the audience to cultivate a heightened awareness of the pervasive reality of the 'data farm' in our everyday lives.

《Data Farm 数据农场》是一个生成式声音装置。该装置收集并监控植物的微电流数据，将其实时转换成电子音乐。同时植物的信号控制植物补光灯和输液装置进行实时的营养分配，从而在更长的周期上影响植物的微电流模式，形成一个反馈循环。

《数据农场》以植物作为媒介探索数据主义的世界中生命体的本质：数据提取的客体和被动消费的主体。数据以各种方式从个体中被提取，被更高维度的数据机器识别和解析。数据处理组织计算出精致的“个性化内容”分配回归到个体进行消费，从而在更大的时间尺度对个体产生深远的影响。这种模式在人类社会中极为普遍，社交媒体通过监控人的行为和喜好从而创作的一个个信息茧房就是很好的例子。我们也许就是一个个在数据农场中“被精致监护喂养的植物或家畜”。《数据农场》采取了怪诞，压抑的视觉与声音来表达对于当今数据主义世界的反乌托邦的立场，意在启发作品给予观者对于真实生活中的“数据农场”的警惕意识。
