For this Open Lab 120, PhD researcher Thomas Pausz will present recent experiments under the topic Vegetal Media, including experimental vibratory interfaces inspired by buzz-pollinating insects and the current design of a library of sensors for greenhouse ecosystem exploration. The session will be followed by a participatory pub quiz on the history of plant technological mediation.
