-=== Meeting June 3rd === + 
-We started with the **central aims** of the project, what was the motivation to set it up; +
-  * To explore if through designing a mechanical organism as an active participant in a habitat, you could study natural systems. +
-  * To see if artists and designers can contribute to a shift in the framewhorks within which our technologies are designed. +
-  * To explore how technological systems could interact with the subleties and grace of biological systems. +

-We looked at the ambitions and targets in our proposal. The workshops mentioned in it were described briefly and each participant gave an update on their current ideas about their research subject. +

-Judith described how she's interested in smells and sound in the landscape. She mentioned work by Bernie Krause on how animals occupy different frequencies and form a densely rich mosaic of sounds. She is interested to learn whether this applies to smells too, and could you map phenomenon like these to form a better understanding of natural signalling and the semiosphere. Could a better understanding help us design our technologies to be more tuned to natural signalling. She described also the idea of 'Forest Bathing' creating a portable space to experience the semiosphere of a forest and mentioned the idea of creating a sensing 'pod' that a person could travel in, and which would sense the environment, like a super enhancer or extender of human sense perception. +
