Abstract

Abstract The author's artistic experiment The Hearing Test focuses on detection of high frequency clicking sounds that are emitted by the tips of plants' roots. Scientists have claimed that plants' roots produce high frequency clicks between 20 and 300 kHz by bursting air bubbles. But while the phenomenon has been described, its cause remains unexplained. This lack of knowledge opens up possibilities for multiple interpretations and invites experimental approaches as well as speculation concerning plant intelligence, the role of species-specific hearing and sound as evidence. The article is an extended reflection on the experiment.

听力测试：素食主义者的证据

摘要作者的艺术实验“听力测试”主要检测植物根部发出的高频咔嗒声。科学家们声称，植物的根部通过爆裂气泡产生20到300千赫的高频咔嗒声。尽管已经描述了这种现象，但其原因仍然无法解释。这种知识的缺乏为多种解释开辟了可能性，并引发了关于植物智力、物种特异性听觉和声音作为证据的作用的实验方法和猜测。这篇文章是对实验的进一步反思。
