Interactive Plant Growing
The Secret Life of...
Christa Sommerer, Laurent Mignonneau

In this installation, living plants function as the interface between the human user and the artwork. This not only provides a new, emotionally charged and unusual connection between computers and living beings but also poses the questions of what a plant is, how we perceive it, and how we interact with it when we touch it or approach it. Natural interfaces also circumvent the annoyance of wearing unpleasant devices before entering virtual space (= unencumbered interaction).
