Description of idea :Just as you become accustomed to the equipment around you, and just as you’re able to make something momentarily perfect out of it, the seasons change, you grow some more, and the cycle starts again. It’s a beautiful process, and how to capture this momentary beauty, to create some thinking out of it, to give people some feeling about it.

*Approach :physical installations that sense the participants and create reactions.
*Approach :physical installations that sense the participants and create reactions.
The intended outcome is to use natural plants and create a botanic installation.Designing a mechanism to control the plants and have them connected with fabric. With multiple sensors detect participant's movements and present minor reactions to them.
As each participant come closer to the plants, their movement are sensed and cause minor impact on the movements of these plants, hopefully creating the feeling that there is life inside this botanic installations and they are breathing、trembling or rotating because of sensing the participants, like they are telling a story.

Currently I am experimenting the motor and sensor, the ideas are:


Currently I am still at the stage of experimenting arduino kits, the ideas are:
Ultrasonic sensor: Detecting on visitors‘ distance from 10cm- 100cm

Servo: playing the movement of open and close and this creates reaction to human.

Sound sensor:Detecting noises and send signals to the motor.

The following picture shows some code to motivate the servo, there may need more servos in the following steps to create better movements.
