Open Green -- the Garden

OpenGreenResearch

In the eco-garden we blend the organic and the digital in one and the same nature. Here we explore how this fusion takes place: examining through digital means the growth, blossoming and decay of plants and insects submitted to natural elements such as wind, rain, snow, etc.

We explore the implementation of eco-garden-elements into wireless networks, both on micro level and on a city level. We research the physical connections between people, programs, sensor-networks and possible uses of the eco-garden. How can the garden's evolution be generated, controlled, enhanced or imagined in artworks? How does the fusion of natural and artificial matter produce new organisms, new environments, new natures? How does technology animate nature and space and vice versa?
