Simon Heijdens, Light Weeds, c. 2005-present

Light weeds are living digital organisms that are projected onto indoor walls that move and bloom based on the local weather conditions and human interaction.  As people move past the light projection, the stalks bend and seeds break off to pollenate the rest of the space.  "[This creates] a constantly evolving bio system that reveals the character of the space and how it's used."  

In an indoor space, our environment is constantly conditioned through temperature and lighting.  "When unpredictable natural elements such as a lifting breeze, a sudden shower, or a setting sun are planned out of our surroundings, the timeline of our everyday is lost." Light weeds have sprung all over the world, but since they grow of their own accord, each arrangement is unique and unadulterated.
