Soft Circuits Tinker Project: Naturalized Technology

In this project, my project partner (Moira Mccavana) and I explored new maker spaces by using the soft circuitry capacity of the AdaFruit board to design the "natural phone"

While this device did not function as a phone itself, it explored the idea of being surrounded by technology, so much so that the technology becomes indistinguishable from the natural world.  

We explored the AdaFruit board's circuit capacity by integrating touch-sensitive sections of fabric to create reactions and responses. At the same time, the board rested upon a bag of dirt where plants grew out of it.
