ConcordiaNOVA EDEN
In a rapidly changing world where the natural environment is getting drastically smaller, plant-life is struggling to adapt to their changing habitats. Nova Eden responds to this issue by modifying plants with the use of technology, enabling them to actively respond to changes in their environment and allowing them to thrive in these new conditions. The work consists of a collection of cybernetic plants which each in their own way cope with their changing environments. Nova Eden is an ongoing project which aim is to develop a series of autonomous cybernetic plants which can be set free into nature.
