AmpLeaf is a synthesized smart surface which is integrated into the anatomy of the forest to experiment from within, using energy directly harvested from the ecosystem and its many agents rather than energy from existing power grids. The project aims to make social impacts on the ecosystem, by using programmed looping bird sounds to attract birds and therefore other animals to gather around targeted flora and fauna native to (or marginalized from) the Valldaura region.
