Breeze the Robotic Tree, by Robotany

Robotany is a collaborative of Jill Coffin, John Taylor, and Daniel Bauen to combine nature and robotics.
Breeze, the first installation of Robotany, is an ambient robot inhabiting the body of a japanese maple. Breeze can visually sense and react through 360 degrees, allowing her to reach out to you and others whenever you are near. This is not a dancing bush, the motion is subtle and artistic, and at the same time, surreal.
