| These directions are an agglomeration of topics that came up most often in the Reality Check session of the [[groworld_design_200708|design week]]. During later sessions (in October 2007, May & July 2008) the directions have been (re/de)focused into the following: | These directions are an agglomeration of topics that came up most often in the Reality Check session of the [[groworld_design_200708|design week]]. During later sessions (in October 2007, May & July 2008) the directions have been (re/de)focused into the following: |
| Hybrid reality gardens, for a closer interaction between plants and humans. Connecting existing initiatives together - how do we learn from each other?; games and connections - can we take care of a physical garden?; games - cultivation, growing, meditative place, community in game design.; a science fiction story to teach life cycles, where characters are based on facts; Different axis of hybridisation - physical & digital, game & life, fact & fiction; self-assembly (from biomimicry, cellular automata); using movement of wood for small robots; plant-insect hybrids; tension - what is real and what isn't; augmentation – technological, cultural?; cultivation of humans and plants; what can we do? mapping, bundling, integrating hr gardens around the world, providing systems, kits and techniques for augmented gardening; why? coming in contact with others interested in hr gardening, building up the competence, learning things from each other; using the network to get access to technologies and people; simulated gardens facilitate connections, they can be used for speculations on HCH ideas, as fictional, more 'futuristic' extensions of the garden; playing music to plants to enhance proteins (joel sternheimer) - can we design a game melody that can be transmitted to plants from servers - 'plant radio'?; enhancing the 'gardening experience' | Hybrid reality gardens, for a closer interaction between plants and humans.

| Sensing (in-plant, in plant's environment) - in plant - moisture - activation potential, soil Ph, pickup mikes (for in-game ambience), cameras - expensive; for growth - best with rulers and cameras, for chemicals - look at DIY chemistry (both could be a part of the ARG); plant communication - sophisticated biochemistry; calibration of sensors is a problem - what do we do with uncalibrated ones?; observation - activity & using imagination - no need for sensor-kit? see plant sensing in wageningen | Sensing (in-plant, in plant's environment) - in plant - moisture - activation potential, soil Ph, pickup mikes (for in-game ambience), cameras - expensive; for growth - best with rulers and cameras, for chemicals - look at DIY chemistry (both could be a part of the ARG); plant communication - sophisticated biochemistry; calibration of sensors is a problem - what do we do with uncalibrated ones?; observation - activity & using imagination - no need for sensor-kit? see plant sensing in wageningen. see also; [[plant sensing]] |

| De-installations - working together with artists to design & de-install (take apart into re-usable components) their artwork. A service for trade-fairs, museums, festivals. Make a manifesto for de-installation & self-disasembly (talk to Etoy about this). LIREC - looking at robot disassembly. Unmaking things - where there is excess of consumption - reduce it! De-installation of design festival in Singapore - (Utter rubbish - post-consumer waste) Leave no trace aesthetics. Against gadgetisation of culture. How do we communicate this as a part of our work? Doing a series of de-installations - redistributions, recycling, re-tailoringabsorption (collaborative project). Creation by destruction. Moving from objects to experience, products to services. Edible arts. What is a software equivalent of de-featuring devices? | De-installations - working together with artists to design & de-install (take apart into re-usable components) their artwork.
