Dandelion by Sennep
Posted March 1st 2006 under Friday Late, Installations
[update - video here]
Reporting on Friday Late: Transvision.
London based Sennep created an interactive dandelion for this event. Elegantly simple and playful, this installation allowed users to blow away the seeds of a dandelion clock using a real electric hairdryer.
“blowing it apart is a popular pastime for children. The number of blows required to completely rid the clock of its seeds is deemed to be the time of day.” - Wikipedia.
