Statement

This system provides light and food in the form of hydroponic solution for a pea plant. The plant reacts to the system by growing. The electro-mechanical system in turn reacts to the plant by producing a rasterized inkjet drawing of the plant’s shadow every twenty-four hours. This system is allowed two run indefinitely and the final outcome is not predetermined.
