Introduction
Approaching or touching real plants changes the growth, position and colour of projected virtual plants. Living plants act as interfaces linking bodily feedback, programmed growth and the exhibition environment.

Interactive Plant Growing: work and context
ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · Revised 2026-10-02
Work, material and process
The artists describe electrical potential differences translated into variables for real-time growth. Projected feedback informs the visitor’s next movement. Sensing, mapping and programmed growth organise the loop; visual responsiveness does not establish that a plant understands its visitor.

Historical significance and questions
Editorial interpretation: generation becomes a situated process shared by people and environment. Its relevance is interactive and artificial-life context, which should remain distinguishable from services that simply deliver a finished generated image.
