| Abstract | Flora Luma is a plant-controlled installation, developed by the authors. It utilises bioelectrical signals to drive color-animation of self-illuminating objects. Electrical signaling constitutes a part of plant vocabulary, employed for intra- and interspecies communication. Recent findings ascertain plants to be much more perceptive of their environment, than previously thought [2,5]. Terms like plant behaviour and plant intelligence are entering scholarly discourse and have been the subject of both major articles in respected media [3,8] and artistic exploration [10]. Yet, the public is largely unaware of the richness of plant life and communication. Flora Luma is designed to provide an insight into the inner workings of plant life, serving as a mediating device allowing the spectator to directly interact with the plant and receive visible real-time feed-back. Plant and human become hybrid agents jointly creating unique artistic reality. The installation highlights the reciprocal relationship and participatory nature between vegetal and human space. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
