Artist / Intercreate Research Center
An important context, both for Colombia and for the world, is that of Peace. Also of vital importance is the human relationship with the environment, a project that articulates and initiates a conversation between Colombia and Aotearoa, New Zealand, using technology for Peace and data in Support of the environment. The electronic garden of peace consists of a live plant and five digital plants placed around a pile of stones. Digital plants emit and flash environmental data - light level, temperature, humidity, and the voltage level of the living plant. Inside the stone pile, is a Sonic Well, a laptop/microphone and speaker, which allows for online interaction.
