Interactive Flower with Phone Users

- Type of Project: self-initiated interactive media art

- Challenge: to use human motion to design an interaction

- Role: from the stage of researching to post-production

- Inspiration: busy people with their phones and the disregarded natures around them

It is very common for people to walk around completely absorbed in their mobile phones. I prefer to focus on plants and foliage in the street in order to gain aesthetic inspiration from them. I believe this characteristic has been key in developing my appreciation for the beauty of the nature around me- something I feel far more connected to than many of my peers. 

This piece depicts blooming and closing flowers on the screen corresponding to the head angles of the phone users. As the users bow their heads towards their phones, the flowers close to represent the way this action closes them off from the world, whereas they bloom as the user looks up to take in the scene around them.
