Sound Gardening


A musical instrument

Concept

Year 2012Youtube

A musical instrument, garden, and party game all in one, the installation’s fragile living interface proves that technology doesn’t need to separate us from the natural world. Users are required to interact with each other and sensor-equipped plants to express creativity in a rich musical composition. Touching certain combinations of plants triggers secret bonus sounds. After being inactive for 30secs the plants whisper for attention.
