Ever wonder if mother nature could thrive within an urban environment? The interactive public installment is set up in Adelaide, Australia and its purpose is to find out if nature could survive and grow in an city setting. Amensalism refers to how an organism is affected by another being, so each organism within the installment was effected by the pedistrians shadows, and the longer the shadow stayed there, the more they decomposed and the more noise they encountered, the slower they spread. So the lichen grows quickly, but is destroyed by every passerby and city noise.
