The Telegarden
“After 9 years of operation, the telegarden went offline in August 2004.The TeleGarden is an art installation that allows web users to view and interact with a remote garden filled with living plants.
Members can plant, water, and monitor the progress of seedlings via the tender movements of an industrial robot arm.The Telegarden was developed at the University of Southern California and went online in June 1995. In its first year, over 9000 members helped cultivate. In September 1996, the Telegarden was moved to the lobby of the Ars Electronica Center in Austria, where it remained online until August 2004.
In linking their garden to the World Wide Web and creating an intuitive interface for the control of the arm and camera, the artists transformed what most would consider a fit of over-engineering into a subtle rumination on the nature of the Commons.”
