The Lower Manhattan Taxi plant, 2004

The above is documentation of an interactive media installation using a live video camera that is fed into a lap top computer. While experimenting with concepts involving nature and technology, I became interested in the similarity between a video camera as a photosensitive device and photosynthesis. I designed the Organism to use the video camera to feed off of information from its immediate environment. In this case taxi cabs were a constant variable in its location, so it was designed to live off the algorithmic flow of the yellow from NY taxis.
