Symbiotic Interaction
WEARABLES, 2016-2017
Symbiotic Interaction is a body-worn technological interface that promotes a plant-human symbiotic relationship, in an intimate and personalized way.
Plants are sensitive to the environment that surrounds them, his living beings perceive different factors and environmental changes that humans cannot perceive with our natural sensors.
Through the interface, five plants connected to sensors based on plants electrophysiology are monitored by measuring the reactions of these living beings in real time.This changes are perceptible for the wearer through changes in color, sound and graphics, visible through the body-worn interface, which allow her to identify patterns in the plants behavior.
