A Breath of Life by Fraser Ross
Scotland-based artist and designer Fraser Ross presented his project A Breath of Life, an study of artificial plant life.
Using Flexinol (new shape changing alloy), recycled electronic components, specimen jars, these “flower lamps” reside in a state of death until human interaction — a breath — brings them to life for a brief moment.
Fraser explains “Blowing is the appropriate interaction as trees and plants grow on carbon dioxide. Every living thing needs a home, plants change themselves to survive in their habitat.”

Magical!
that looks very interesting, the concept is very creative!
How does the carbon activate it? Could you explain?
That is the type of project that students should be building in art class.
Amazing concept! Looks really great- thanks for presenting it to us!
