The “Indaplant/ Floraborg”sculpture is about two feet wide by three feet high, made up of a green, leafy house plant and computer parts, which is programmed top actually move on its own. The house plant sits within a robotic triangular device consisting of three electronic flatscreen computer monitor devices. The plant/robot sits on top of three plastic blue wheels, two in the front and one in the back. The sculpture is programmed to direct itself to move towards sunlight and water when it is in need, making the plant self-sufficient and giving it the ability to maintain its own wants and needs without the help of humans.
One possible content would be that the artist is expressing the future of plants and how they will live in the world. No longer needing or depending on human life forms to survive. Right now we would never think of plants as walking and taking care of themselves but it may be well in our future.
Another possible content could have stemmed from an idea of merging together technology and organic life forms to create a new type of species.
