Artificial intelligent seed laying animals – Garden of Mechatronics, Bionics and Artificial Life


The video was made to illustrate one of a number of proposed interventions for a student project exploring nature, leisure, industry and chaotic systems at Trentham Gardens, Stoke on Trent. The scheme intends to take the ideas already explored by Capability Brown further by utilising modern technology to transform visitor’s perception of the landscape while still preserving the existing rich complex historical fabric of the site. The animals lie dormant over the summer months charging via photo voltaic solar collectors. They are then let loose late autumn and early spring to meet and play with the public, laying individually allocated annual flower seeds and bulbs as they do so before returning to charge over the next summer. Their infinitely chaotic wanderings and encounters are momentarily recorded in the annual display of flowers. The project aimed to be a catalyst for the growth of new and existing emerging industrial and leisure activities adding to the social and economic regeneration of the potteries. A more detailed description of the artificial intelligent seed laying animals can be found under the projects menu on my website: www.steve-russell.co.uk
