This project aims to create a garden office that ask for water, with the help of moisture sensors and an Arduino we know the approximate level of moisture in the plants. When a plant needs water, it changes the animation of the LED corresponding to that specific plant.
The relationship between nature and technology is what motivated us to create this piece, and also, the experience of having a better communication with our plants.
This is a collaborative project between The Clorofilas and Aer Studio. Photography by: Maria Daniela Quiros.
Invisible Maps is a map of the Barcelona’s invisible assets. Using QR codes, highlights events and places and interact with the land and its history through mobile technology.
