We experimented and toyed around with a lot of different ideas. Additionally, it was a challenge to imagine how these ideas would be applicable to reality and how likely we would be able to pull it off with our skillset. At first, we had the idea of a plant which talks when people step close. It could have uttered that it needs sunlight or water when one of its needs isn't met. The environment was supposed to interact with the plant and the plant would have relied on the visitors. We thought about using motion sensors that would trigger the plant when a certain amount of people would be in the room. | We experimented and toyed around with a lot of different ideas.

At first, we had the idea of a plant which talks when people step close. It could have uttered that it needs sunlight or water when one of its needs isn't met. The environment was supposed to interact with the plant and the plant would have relied on the visitors. The plant could have also reacted on the visitors voices. We thought about using motion sensors that would trigger the plant when a certain amount of people would be in the room. If too many people were in the room, the plant would have sensed a disharmony and an according disharmony noise would have been played. | ||
'''Contra''': Although this way, the plant would have taken on the role of a marionette, and that is why we changed the idea. | |||
==== <u>Idea 2</u> ==== | |||
At this point we started thinking about the interaction between plants and humans, and their dynamic and power positions. We disliked the idea of humans controlling the plant and wanted it to be more autonomous. We asked ourselves who controlled whom, and thought about how traditionally nature can be influenced negatively by the factors weather conditions, environmental conditions and humankind: Extreme weather could lead to destruction of plants, e.g. hail, heat waves or frost. The environment could change to become uninhabitable or poisoned by humans and in this way also pose a threat to plants. Last, humans could also artificially manipulate plants with genetic engineering as another way of taking the plant's autonomy and natural existence. | |||
'''Conclusion''': We wanted to swap around the roles of plants and the environment to make the plants autonomous. We asked ourselves what would happen if the plant could poison the environment, manipulate humankind or influence the weather conditions, possibly as an act of revenge. | |||

To insinuate the irony and absurdity of the swapped role model of plants and humans, we considered the possibility of a theatre play. | |||
