Installation/ Event

Our project uniquely bridges the diversity of human personalities and plant interactions. By assigning distinct MBTI types to individual plants, students engage in interactive conversations via a WhatsApp chatbot linked to ChatGPT. This immersive experience goes beyond conventional labels, showcasing diverse communication styles and personalities.

Interactive Plant Profiles

The design of the “Shall We Talk…?” exhibition focuses on creating an interactive experience. Each plant represents one of the 16 MBTI types. Visitors can scan QR codes beside the plants to start a chat with a WhatsApp Chatbot powered by ChatGPT. This chat helps them guess the plant's MBTI type based on the conversation.

Message Corner

We also created a message corner featuring MBTI type mailboxes (envelopes). Visitors can use the message cards we designed to leave a note for the MBTI type they want to talk to. They can also pick a message from the envelope of their MBTI type. This allows for both giving and receiving messages, fostering interaction and understanding among different personality types.
