Abstract
"Sensitive Floral" is an interactive, generative artwork that ventures into the exploration of a unique generative system, biomimetically emulating the reactive behaviors of the Mimosa pudica plant. By synthesizing the complexity of fractal tree data structures with the Cellular Automata (CA) mechanisms of grid computations, the artwork mirrors nature's adaptive and responsive traits. This approach demonstrates the potential of generative design, organize coding rules and geometric relationships within parameters to shape biomimetic aesthetics. The interaction allows users to initiate a ripple of movement by simply touching the screen, triggering large numbers of changes across thousands of leaves, as like the group leaf movements observed in Mimosa pudica. This subtle yet intricate movement of digital flora not only reflects the beauty of natural phenomena but also opens further opportunities for expression in shape and movement behavior, brings a subtle immersive experience in the field of techno art and human- computer interaction.
