<nettime-ann> Turbulence Spotlight: "Sensitive Rose" by Martha Gabriel |
. Turbulence Spotlight: "Sensitive Rose" by Martha Gabriel http://turbulence.org/spotlight/sensitive_rose [Needs mobile device with camera and QRcode reader] "Sensitive Rose" is an interactive, navigable compass formed by mobile tags (QRcodes). To interact with "Sensitive Rose" one has to access the work via a mobile device. Once there, the user must choose what he/she wants from life. On the web "Sensitive Rose" maps the desire next to the tag related to it, and generates a new QRcode for that user. The desire -- for instance, "Joe wants Love" ? is added to the compass rose which evolves with each new contribution. Users can decipher one another?s desires by decoding the poetry hidden within these tags.
