Tumbleweed project

Idea

Update idea ( more detail ) 05.20.2021

Tumbleweed appears in the north of the world. It grows from a seed. In autumn, its roots will dry up, and the whole plant will be easily moved by the wind. When they are moved by the wind, their seeds will also fall to the ground while they are tumbling. It is an alien species to the United States, and the United States is threatened by it every year. They will block the roads, will block people's doors and cause some disturbance to people's lives. I thought about what would happen if I made a similar object like this and put it in a southern city's street in China? This city has a humid climate and is very different from the environment tumbleweed lived before.

The interactive way: when human touch it, it will tumble to opposite direction

The way of movement

Previous idea

Establish a certain way of plant manipulation. We can know that plants communicate with each other through chemical signals, electrical signals and other signals. While reading these signals, transform them into abstract dynamic images, or the computer can read these signals and issue instructions to control the next action.

Tumbleweed. It is a plant-like device that rolls around the street, looking for something, like a tumbleweed, that will be blown by the wind or moved by people. It is an intruder of this environment, and it did not belong to this environment at the beginning.

According to the environmental changes of people and space (temperature, humidity or light intensity and sound frequency), the peculiar effect of a real-time video is changed in real time.

Create a plant simulation machine, it is a machine, but all actions simulate the life characteristics of the plant. Photosynthesis, absorption of water, exhalation of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide, etc.
