you can see a pot plant robot clinging to the pipes in this sketch
but after some thought i decided to drop the whole anthropomorphic element and just let the system of interconnected parts speak for itself. i'm always keen on evoking a sense of intelligence in systems, and i think producing robots is a little too didactic - in terms of that evocation of articulated thought.
just mapping out the parts - you might be able to see i thought about building a pipe that i could tap, drawing water out from it for the seedlings, but i think that is a bit too much trickery for my work now.
there's a few elements i need to consider now:
- what sort of seedlings should i use (i'm contemplating weeds at the moment)
- how to build the speakers to elicit a sense of nurturing (i'm thinking about building the speaker cones into desk lamp shades)
