| dc.description.abstract | A growing need for environmental awareness requires sensitive strategies to help us rethink the way interactions transform our habitat. This work proposes a musical approach to nourishing the bonds between elementary-school students and nature. Since plants and humans experience life in very different time frames, humans might mistakenly perceive plants as quiet and motionless living-beings. The ability to sense elements of their surroundings to which we are unaware of, makes plants invaluable allies towards a more conscious relationship with the planet we share. This work proposes that music has the potential to intermediate these interactions and provide meaningful experiences to the young participants by bringing to common ground digital technology, music and plants. Using sensors to collect data from the plant’s environment we shape musical features over time, encouraging children care of their own plant as it blossoms into its matured “musical form”. In addition, sound events might be triggered to reward positive behavior in the classroom. Students split responsibility for the plant assigned to their desk, which stimulates cooperation and companionship. Each individual plant then becomes part of and contributes to its class and school musical. | pt_PT |
