A diverse world needs people who are born with their disabilities. Every head-controlled mouse user and persons with visual impairments or spastic bodies knows, what makes a good user interface.

I want to grow my own assistive devices. Organic way, from the seeds. I choose species that can be controlled by nerve signals. This modest wheelchair is related to the city bicycles. My favourite species are those that bloom depending on my status of mind.
