The first concept included a real plant with a humidity sensor in its soil. The plant and humidity sensor would then be sprayed with water. The sensor would measure higher humidity levels and after reaching a certain threshold, music would be played. Then, the music and its bass would turn on the plasma lamp and make it glow to the beat. | The first concept included a real plant with a humidity sensor in its soil.

Due to the issue with the humidity sensor, we finalised a different concept: We thought about the plant and its autonomy. The first concept was relying on humans spraying the water bottle, which is why we changed it to make the plant more autonomous: The final idea focuses on nature and plants, recreating a thunderstorm | Due to the issue with the humidity sensor, we finalised a different concept: We thought about the plant and its autonomy. The first concept was relying on humans spraying the water bottle, which is why we changed it to make the plant more autonomous: The final idea focuses on nature and plants, recreating a thunderstorm. For this concept, the music was programmed to be played in random intervals between 5 and 10 minutes. As soon as it starts, the plasma lamp reacts as well. After one random song out of our selection is played, a dialogue between the actors is played as an audio. The plants' dialogue also triggers the plasma lamp, therefore controlling the weather. As soon as the dialogue is over, the spray bottle is programmed to spray the audience standing in front of Plant Plant Play. It is a small, playful act of revenge on humankind by nature. After, another random song about rain is played. After 5-10 minutes, the play repeats. | ||
