House Colab Reflection

For the plant contribution to the "house" maybe we could have something of a greeting element? Our plants could be in the "front yard" area and react somehow when people approach the door. That could go both with the idea of the house being sentient and the idea of surveillance/protection. The flowers could greet perceived visitors or family members (non-threats) but would also be monitoring the front yard area as though watching for threats. They could be part of the house's preliminary "eyes."

Actually, on that note, I think it could be really cool if all of the different projects related back somehow to the house as having its own senses. The flowers might relate back to the house sensing with eyes, the couch/twitter project could be touch related, different elements could be triggered by sound, etc. Not sure how taste or smell would be addressed but if it were manageable it could be a strong aspect of the idea of sentience.
