Blue Flower at Maker Faire 2009
General May 30th, 2009
Blue Flower will be at the Maker Faire this weekend (May 30/31) in San Mateo. Look for it in the Expo Hall near the giant Maker Faire banner between the signs for the cafe.
Blue Flower is a possible answer to the question: what would a flower look like if it were electronic? The physical structure of the flower is also an electronic circuit. Without a circulation of electrons (current flow) through the structure of the flower it remains lifeless. As current is induced in the flower the LEDs begin to glow, providing a visual signal similar to a biological flower’s display.
Blue Flower is the first part of an envisioned ecosystem of interdependent electronic flora and fauna.
