Landprint
Hacked lawnmower which is able to cut pattern into the grass
The aim of the Landprint project is to reproduce subtle patterns and photos by combining various species of plants with programmed robotics.
Plants and flowers that spawn seem to make continuous patterns with their various colours and shades seen from a distance. With the use of programmed robotics for the planting and cutting of plants, we can manipulate the evolving patterns, to render photo-like, delicate images.
