| TGarden is an interdisciplinary project exploring methods of artistic expression and social interaction in mixed reality. The project has originated in a partnership between FoAM in Brussels and sponge in San Francisco. The direct and tangible result of the project is a responsive Play Space whose visitors shape the media environment around them through their movement, gesture and social interaction. TGarden is currently being developed in collaboration with several art and technology centers (in 2001: Georgia Institute of Technology, Ars Electronica, V2, Banff Centre for the Arts) and a number of independent artists, technologists and scientists from Europe, USA and Australia. | TGarden is an interdisciplinary project exploring methods of artistic expression and social interaction in mixed reality.

| The letter "T" in the title of this project stands for 'topology', 'time', 'tea'. The "Garden" stands for a emergent region, balancing between autonomous wilderness and a cultivated work of art. A site that evolves on its own accord, but can be molded extensively by its care-takers and temporary dwellers. | The letter "T" in the title of this project stands for 'topology', 'time', 'tea'.

| TGarden is, first and foremost, a built space that the visitors can inhabit. Second, it is a growing environment in which the visitors can comfortably linger, surrounded by responsive media, and third, an instrument that allows the visitors to (collaboratively) shape and modify the environment's processes of growth, decay and transformation. | TGarden is, first and foremost, a built space that the visitors can inhabit.
