This is an expedition involving the artificial study of plant

life. Each organism performs a shape change through human
interaction. The inbuilt nervous system of each organism has
a specific organ, dedicated to each sense; the mechanisms
and capabilities are reflected in different organisms.

The collection of organisms are the continuation of Fraser
Ross’ research and development of new skin materials linked
with shape-morphing technologies, using plant resins and
other natural materials to experiment with organic form
and movement.

Materials: Flexinol, glass, wood, resin, latex, copper,
electronic components, sensors.
