"info-sea-Flowers" is poetic software that delivers e-mail massages after converting them into flower graphics. It compares the communication of feelings that cannot be expressed in words only, or communication unrestricted by the meaning or content of the words, to the act of "sending flowers."
The software on this show converts the latest search keywords entered at the portal site "goo" into flower graphics. Words typed in by various people over the Internet bloom inside the ICC premises and are presented to visitors who happen to stop by ICC.
