Meet “Meet Eater”, a Queensland gar­den being kept alive by Face­book. Planted by University of Queensland student Bashkim Isai, Meet Eater is in the grounds of the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane — and it has quite the fan club. The gar­den is rigged with a system that monitors social interaction on the internet and feeds or waters it in response. Giving a new meaning to the term “news feed”, Meet Eater is watered whenever someone writes on its Face­book wall or stops by to say hello. The gar­den also answers some messages from fans and “cries” when it wants attention.
