Jurema Action Plant
an interactive bio-machine by Ivan Henriques
Jurema Action Plant aims to empower plants by enabling them to
use similar technologies as humans use. It is also explores new ways of
communication and co-relation between humans, living organism and a
machine. The Jurema Action Plant responds to human touch and you can't
help but wonder if it has feelings, memory, consciousness?
