JOHNNY APPLESEED

Johnny Appleseed adopts and alters the form of a botanist’s vasculum to flip its function, allowing the user to become a passive pollinator, rather than active collector. Preprogrammed by the user to open in light conditions suitable to the seeds inside, Johnny Appleseed considers how clothing and accessories can be interwoven with technology–already present in every other aspect of our lives–to interact with the user and their environment.
