Python Plantscape is a Human-Computer Interaction Design (HCI-D) research project that investigates end-user troubleshooting in technical environments. I want to start a dialogue about the challenges users face as the built environment grows in complexity, and investigate how foundational knowledge can unlock creativity in the physical world. Embarking on this project, I plan to build an artistically crafted technical object, that can be used to teach others about how modern electronics work. Throughout this process I will develop a sytem of metrics to identify how typical users interact with techincal objects, and how their experience is impacted when things go wrong.
