Green Data
If we could imagine a mobile garden, a kinetic vegetable garden
2017
Green Data is an in situ installation made up of mobile and autonomous planters produced as part of an artistic residency in a school environment. The devices move slowly over time in an open space such as a garden.
Planters on wheels are able to move in space according to the mood of plants / vegetable plants of all kinds. The planter modules are autonomous (or almost autonomous in energy).
Plants / vegetables then find a certain autonomy in space. This installation offers a mobile garden that redraws itself at every moment of the day.
The project was built through a program of 10 participatory workshops combining art, science and technology:
Meeting with the artist and discovery of the Rikiki Valise workshop
Presentation and discovery of the Green Data project
Selection and creative customization of modules
Assembly of the rolling base and motor installation
Introduction to electronics / First assembly
Advanced electronic assembly
Integration of the electronic system with the module
Planting and finishing touches with operational tests
Final artistic customization and testing
Installation and setup of the collective artwork
These workshops enabled participants to explore design, programming, electronics, gardening and artistic creation through a transdisciplinary approach.
