Description
Summary:To be the wind for the tree is a poetry generator that translates the physiological parameters of a tree or cluster of trees into verses. The project is based on the data collected by the TreeTalker+ sensor, which is designed to monitor trees and measures the quality of green infrastructure and ecosystem services that trees provide to the city. The generator translates the tree data collected by the sensors in real time into short poetic texts. The article looks into the principles of analysing and translating the data and describes the development of the project from prototype to portable device and them to the site-specific installation.
