Idea

1.

Establish a certain way of plant manipulation. We can know that plants communicate with each other through chemical signals, electrical signals and other signals. While reading these signals, transform them into abstract dynamic images, or the computer can read these signals and issue instructions to control the next action.

2.

Tumbleweed

It is a plant-like device that rolls around the street, looking for something, like a tumbleweed, that will be blown by the wind or moved by people. It is an intruder of this environment, and it did not belong to this environment at the beginning.

Draft:

3.

According to the environmental changes of people and space (temperature, humidity or light intensity and sound frequency), the peculiar effect of a real-time video is changed in real time.

4.

Create a plant simulation machine, it is a machine, but all actions simulate the life characteristics of the plant. Photosynthesis, absorption of water, exhalation of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide, etc.
