By tracking respiration via thermal image analysis and translating it into wave patterns on a water surface, the installation provides a tangible experience translating the user's corporal rhythm onto a natural material. The present research project investigates whether such interactions can help bridging the gap between environmental knowledge and action within the ecological crisis, encouraging holistic empathy for nature. Der Trog aims to inspire new perceptions of our connection to natural elements, advocating for sustainable behaviour through meaningful, embodied encounters with the environment.}, subject = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, language = {en} }
