Plant Face Filters for Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Published: May 2019

I created an Augmented Reality face filter of a Monstera Plant, Forget Me Not, and Ivy / Poison Ivy thru Instagram to bring more attention to the zoning issues happening at Brooklyn Botanical Garden.  I did this as I am constantly thinking of ways to utilize digital art for good causes. I was not paid to do this, this space is sacred and important for me and my practice so I wanted to make something to help preserve it and get more signatures/ exposure for the cause.  

Results so far:
Monstera Filter: Over 2.5 million uses
Forget Me Not: Over 1.8 million uses
Ivy/ Poison Ivy:  TBD

Tag Me @benrossdavis and @brooklynbotanic and the location if you use it. The gardens are also using the hashtags #BBGnorezone #ResistRezoning and #FightForSunlight

There is also a group called Flower Lovers Against Corruption / Movement to Protect the People that have been actively working on the issue. If you call them you can get updated on the status and they have an email list.
