Hans Crijns developed GrowGuard - a wireless monitoring system for plants - because he grew tired of not knowing why his plants were withering away. GrowGuard is a networked system made to tweet or text you about your plants’ desires for humidity, light, and temperature.
To keep in line with the Mediamatic way, the GrowGuard workshop will plant the roots, not just green the leaves. You will learn how to solder a circuit board, what different sensors imply and how they are implemented by GrowGuard. If you do not want to receive individualized information digitally and would prefer to see what your plant needs, worry not. The workshop will also cover Moistly, an analogue simplified version of GrowGuard where all you need to respond to is a flickering lamp and a quiet beep.

The workshop takes place on Friday December 7 from 13.00 to 18.00 at Mediamatic Bank, Vijzelstraat 68, Amsterdam. More info and tickets can be found on our website.
