Green typography

Gunnar Green has figured out a way to 'print' plants-- not on plants, but with plants.

After different interesting approaches such as a Bio-printer (essentially an inkjet-printer which would put seeds on a flat surface instead of drops of ink), vertical gardens and jackets from Tyvek to sample bio-material during a day in the city and then later cultivate it, he finally decided to focus on the letter (in both of its meanings) as means of communication, especially between individuals with emotional relationships. Four project focus on living letters, letters as signs of life and procedural shapes in different aspects. (via we-make-money-not-art)

And, just too late for Valentines: Beans that will sprout "I love you" (or other messages) on the leaves. Jack's magic beans have nothing on capitalism . . .
