Living Typography

Description

Living Typography is a robotically seeded living interface for collective music making. It is composed of a microcontroller, capacitive touch sensors, plants, and planting media. The interface is grown from robotically planted seeds in computationally generated planting patterns. The living matters – the plants and soil – act as a sensor network. Touching a zone of the living interface will play a sample from a sound palette of environmental recordings. People can touch, feel, listen to, and experience Living Typography while they appreciate the beauty of typography and nature.
