Current possibilities in this time frame:

* Augmented foraging phone app (Boskoi preview/test) http://transitlab.org/2010/augmented-foraging-cool-use-of-layar * New groworld games developments, cultivating online social networks, taking on FarmVille: http://libarynth.org/red_leaf * Plant sensing workshop, connecting physical gardens to game worlds http://www.pawfal.org/dave/blog/2010/03/plant-game-interface/ * Build your own pata-botanical world - history of imaginary plants * Biomodd: update of the Biomodd game (with Twitter feed), short video clips, wall texts written by my Filipino team members, photomontages, maybe one compact case mod from a Biomodd Workshop http://www.biomodd.net * Groworld Game presented via map (kind of network map) - connecting all our activities on one visual platform * Seed Balling workshop + selection of mini plant guild you can take with you.

Need links to things too…

I was thinking of a similar approach to the groworld installation we did a few weeks ago - we had drawings, books, games, scents, seeds all under one groworld theme. We could also propose workshops too [dave]

I like groworld bazzar set up, its just would be nice that the information and things we would show, could speak for itself rather then us standing there all the time and explaining how its connects. [lina] [I'm in favor of the 'bazaar' approach as well]

I left out Corrupted C#n#m# for now, since I'm exclusively focusing on plant-eating insects right now. Might not be such a good idea ;-| And I might submit it as a personal entry. [Angelo]
