Taru Robo is a soil-monitoring robot developed during a residency at Jatiwangi Art Factory (JAF) in collaboration with Pa Aden and Bisma. The robot is made for the Perhutana, a collective forest project organized by JAF, and moves it’s leaves in and out depending on the humidity of the soil. This way the data the soil produces becomes visible to the human passer by and the soil can be listened too.
