In 2015, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Teacup Tools” by Agnes Meyer-Brandis (Hybrid Art) with an Award of Distinction. Agnes Meyer-Brandis has 5 more works in this atlas.
*Teacup Tools* is an array of cybernetic teacups, adapting themselves to the realm of climate-related sciences. The work appears as a multifunctional tool for the investigation of micro clouds above tea, for communication and for tea drinking.
