The Bloom Around Us is an interactive visualisation developed as design research into the human connection to technology. It seeks to create empathetic technological experiences, rethinking the way digital interfaces are designed for humans.
By incorporating values and cues inspired by nature, The Bloom Around Us subverts established principles of designing for digital systems. Using projection, the visualisation renders a live stream of tweets each represented by a unique flower. Tweets are sourced from the local area and transformed into an array of flowers arrangeable by viewer interaction. Alongside the visuals is a procedurally generated soundtrack, creating a melodic atmosphere influenced by the visual projections.
