A tiny robot is equipped with a sensor to measure the CO2 content of the air. As a reaction to the reading, the robot draws a thin green vertical line on the wall of the exhibition space. It then moves a few millimeters, takes the next reading and records it as another line on the wall.What gradually takes shape is a “lawn” drawn in green ink that, by the end of the exhibition’s run, will have spread over all of the space's walls.

This project was made possible by a grant from the Creative Capital Foundation in NYC and a Faculty Development Award from Columbia College, Chicago.
