ioNature is an interactive installation consisting of 1500 sets of real grass and dried grass. When people walk nearby, the grass responds to people by swaying back and forth, forming wave patterns, just like when the wind blows in a nature field. It's an exploration of the question - what will it be like in the future when everything is connected?
Special thanks to the Autodesk Pier 9 Residency Program that made this project possible.
