THE TELEGARDEN

The Telegarden is an art installation that allows web users to view and interact with a remote garden filled with living plants. Members can plant, water, and monitor the progress of seedlings via the tender movements of an industrial robot arm. The Telegarden was developed at the University of Southern California and went online in June 1995. In September 1996, The Telegarden was moved to the lobby of the Ars Electronica Center in Austria, where it remained online until August 2004. The Alternate Village Square chatroom remains available with archival photos and other information.
