Turbulence Spotlight: "Sensitive Rose" by Martha Gabriel http://turbulence.org/spotlight/sensitive_rose [Needs mobile device with camera and QRcode reader]
"Sensitive Rose" is an interactive, navigable compass formed by mobile tags (QRcodes). To interact with "Sensitive Rose" one has to access the work via a mobile device. Once there, the user must choose what he/she wants from life. On the web "Sensitive Rose" maps the desire next to the tag related to it, and generates a new QRcode for that user. The desire -- for instance, "Joe wants Love" is added to the compass rose which evolves with each new contribution. Users can decipher one anothers desires by decoding the poetry hidden within these tags.
