Prototype 1 / Feed Your Garden

< Introduction >

Feed Your Garden is a metaphoric approach in visualising how we "feed" our social media feeds. Every word the user type becomes a seed that the system interprets, and plants flowers that reflect the word. Entering a word of similar theme creates a monoculture, while varied input grows a more diverse ecosystem. As the garden grows, users are able to save an identity avatar that is shaped entirely by their planted patterns. This metaphor mirrors how digital platforms work: every click, search, and pause becomes nourishment for the algorithm. What you "feed" it grows back toward you.
