GREEN WORDS: A potted plant named ‘Midori-san’, meaning ‘green’ in Japanese, is placed next to a computer showing the plant’s blog, at a cafe in Kamakura, near Tokyo. Midori-san blogs every day with the help of a sensor, attached to the plant, that measures electric signals and a computer algorithm that translates the signal data into words, which are automatically posted on the plant’s blog. The characters on the computer screen read ‘Today’s Midori-san’ in Japanese
