Plantasia

About

Plantasia was an installation piece that ran during December 2018. It is about a plant that was biologically "re-programmed" by a scientist to control a computer AI. The scientist is now long gone, but the bio-AI lives on and really wants to hang out.

Please note that this is only a single component of the installation. The full experience has since been disassembled and can no longer be experienced as a whole.
