GORI.Node Garden is an art installation as a network garden in which GORIs are growing. As a physical and ambient data visualization, the garden has been presented to explore the visualization of various kinds of network data, e.g. mobile phone data, SMS, online instant messenger chats. When the garden is fed by data, each plant vibrates, similar to how plants move when breeze blows on them. GORI.Node Garden has been changed its form over time. | View more images 2006 Oct ACM 2006 Interactive Arts Exhibition

GORI is a network media plant that is connected to the Internet and nourished by network data as they vibrate, blink or grow. The plant has a long, thin acrylic stem and a round, flat metal blossom on top of it. Its root has a mechanical structure with a small circuit board that controls the GORI behavior. GORI has been developed as a series of art installations since 2004. The term 'GORI' generally means 'to link' and 'open hook' in Korean and it is often used to refer to the 'fastening' and 'loosening' of human relationships.
