This interactive and sonic ecosystem called Terrarium is an installation that moves based on the sounds people make.
The sounds are captured through sound vents and are sucked in by Seed Spitters in an attempt to process them. The processed sounds also help sustain life within the ecosystem.
What a cool, futuristic installation!
Implications - This trend is a good example of technological interaction that captures the interest of curious people.
