Radical EcoSystem concept

Radical EcoSystem is a bio-hybrid installation in which plant activity begins shaping the behaviour of a technological system. A living plant, human physiological signals and a soft robotic artificial flower form a responsive ecosystem where biological signals influence movement, light and sound. Rather than treating plants as passive sources of data, the project explores their role as active agents capable of influencing technological behaviour. Radical EcoSystem proposes a shift from technologies that monitor nature to systems that become entangled with living processes.
