Philly-based journal, record label and events producer Data Garden is bringing the botanic garden of 18th-century naturalist John Bartram into the 21st century — and beyond — with a new interactive exhibit. The Switched-On Garden 002, which marks the end of the eighth annual DesignPhiladelphia Festival, fuses elements of the digital and biological in a series of live performances and sound installations. Talking trees, simulated fireflies, improvised robotic drums and more will animate the 45 acres of historic Bartram’s Garden and invite participants to consider the relationship among music, sculpture, technology and the natural world.

Sun., Oct. 14, 2-8 p.m., free, Bartram’s Garden, 54th St. and Lindbergh Blvd., 215-729-5281, datagarden.org, designphiladelphia.org.
