Interactive art

Vital Currents visualizes the dynamic process of water absorption by a plant, bridging the realms of nature and technology. This motion graphic, created using Processing and Arduino, dynamically responds to the act of watering. A soil moisture sensor captures the essence of life- giving water and translates its readings into changes in the transparency, scale, and rotational speed of an evolving geometric structure. This responsive form symbolizes growth, vitality, and the harmonious balance between human care and the natural world.
