A special ecosystem, between nature and technology. A world on its own. Interfering with it will have its consequences. Play around and become one with it, or disrupt it. When left alone, it will always restore balance, but how long does it take?

How does it work?

The buttons activate synthesised, but nature-like sounds. When the ball is picked up or moved around, the gyroscope inside will measure a change, distorting the sounds that are playing. Through touching the conductive flowers on top, reactive sounds are activated. When left alone, the earth baby will always find its balance and stay upright,, as the bottom is round and weighed down with stones.
