Picture this...
Take one pretty big, open, grassy field.
Get a bunch of wildflower seeds, organized by color.
Using an automated seeder, differential GPS, and a computer controlled selection bin on the seeder, "paint" really large pictures in wildflower colors by seeding the field "ink-jet
style".

Cool. Can we do this without telling anyone, so people think it's aliens again? |

I like it--you could even do this in your yard, using varieties of grass. (For small areas, the seeds could be glued to paper. The method: Lay it flat, then hose it down. The glue softens, and the seeds fall off into the soil.) |

[blissmiss], well, the idea is to improve the resolution and complexity making really intricate pictures show up. |

I think some of Van Gogh's work would be nice. |

If you want really big bio-art, go out into the ocean and spray an iron supplement in a digital pattern. Alga will bloom, giving you something that could be seen from space. |

I remember on the news a few years ago they found a giant swazstiga planted with white birch trees in a german forest. Aparently it was planted in the 30's and forgoton about. I think they cut it down so it wouldn't become a shrine. |

Wow! Way to find a link [waugsqueke]. |

Baked or not, cool idea. (+) |

simonj, I posted the link before I saw your paragraph. |

I'm impressed with this idea because it puts together several available technologies for a really big project such as a Van Gogh planting, and another use for GPS which is the most nearly useless techno toy yet. |
