Video case study
During daytime full color flora is displayed. For the evening time when the neighborhood is sensitive to the lights we created versions of all the plants based on a representation of the Japanese Kintsugi technique of bonding pieces together with gold.
It began with an ecological audit, and then gathering and analyzing the data.
Then created each botanical algorithm, culminating in a marriage of creative and data.
