MANIFEST
In a consumer society there are few options for the everyday individual to manifest his true wishes and not just be influence by general opinion. By creating a platform that allows for endless permutations and personalization, one can find it easier to express his desire.
Our platform is based on a central element that contains the arduino board and sensors plus the four male connections. Our dream is that people will take this platform and create add-ons that will interact with the surrounding environment and other people thus creating a sort of a game, a quest where the actors are the citizens of the city.
Instead of creating a self-sufficient environment for the plant to grow, the plant will grow in an ecosystem were the missing resources needs to be added by the maker/hacker.
The basic idea is that you as a maker/hacker will install this in public spaces and then other people get to take care of it, play with it or just enjoy it. The plant will communicate its needs by wifi or visual and audio signals.
For example a plant may demand you to turn a leaver for it to have energy were another one will tell you to sing for her, this choice of personalization will give the maker a infinite possibility to play with his environment.
Audio configuration
The more you sing to the plant the happier it is tweeting #Listening to music. When the plant is satisfied it releases a small coin. If 5 coins are collected the participant receives a bag of seed to start his plantation.
Water Quest
The same principle applies to the water quest as before. When the plant needs water is sends a tweet and the games begin whom ever water the plan first wins the coin.
Main Goals:
- connect people with plants
- a public service that looks for no profit
- participatory action
-activate neutral urban zones to create a derive
-making people aware of the makers/hackers community
-to see people taking care of their surrounding invites more respect
