What if internet's cruelty had a body?

Soil of Internet — Mimosa is an interactive installation that treats the internet as soil — a living substrate formed by the cumulative weight of every word ever typed into it. Visitors type freely from their phones, dropping words and sentences into a shared column where letters fall and pack together like sediment, slowly building the ground in which a Mimosa pudica flower grows. The soil's acidity — calculated in real time from the ratio of toxic, neutral, and positive language — determines whether the plant blooms or wilts. One visitor may step forward as the Moderator, gaining the power to delete or preserve any word before it settles permanently. No one else can. Live news headlines feed into the same column alongside personal input, composting together without hierarchy. The plant cannot suppress its reaction. It grows — or fails to — in whatever soil it receives.
