Takeshi Ishiguro makes a lot of bizarre and lovely stuff, but Emotional Tree is my favorite.
The tree has colored lights and a sensor, which operates like a lie detector, picking up electrical currents from the tree itself. These are supposedly used to gauge emotion. From PingMag:
The trees really do have feelings! It has been researched actively in the U.S. since 50's. There is actually a case where the police installed a lie-detector to a plant which "saw" a criminal of a murder at the scene - and the detector read the tree's reaction when meeting the suspect again. It uses the same mechanism as the electro-encephalograph that picks up a slight electric current that flows inside of a body. There are several kinds of theories such as trees recognizing the person who waters the tree regularily, or detecting fear from fire.
You can see the article he's referring to, from Manila, here.
