Most plants require sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to survive. We've found one that requires Facebook fans and wall posts. Meet Eater is a "real garden that feeds on social interaction. " It is an experiment in human interaction and design, focused on rebuilding the connection between human being and plants. Here's how it works, according to its creator: "Meet Eater is rigged up with a system to register physical contact and social media interaction. Watering is triggered by human contact and nutrients are delivered when you start hanging out with it on Facebook. Of course the novelty of such a project could draw more attention than is desired. Technically, this garden (which you can visit at The Edge in the State Library of Queensland) requires food, water and nutrients, just like any other plant.

Meet Eater is a project by designer Bashkim Isai as part of a course at the University of Queensland, Australia. We're thrilled by the novelty of this social media experiment.
