Plant.play()
SessionArt Gallery
DescriptionPlant.play() reimagines the relationship between plants, humans, and digital spaces through an interactive installation where a living plant becomes the central player in a pet simulation game. Environmental sensors and bioelectrical signals translate the plant’s natural processes into caregiving decisions, shaping pets’ growth, personality, and evolution—leading to sixty possible appearances and eight personality types. Displays highlight the plant’s decision-making journey, emphasizing its role as an active agent. By blending plants, technology, and play, Plant.play() explores posthumanist ideas and invites audiences to reflect on the connections between living beings, their environments, and the roles plants can play in our interconnected world.
