Symbiosis
2015 | together with Sebastian Scholz, Anna Neumerkel, Florian Semlitsch, Eva Krismann
// A speculative scenario where humans stop seeing themselves as an isolated organism and create a symbiotic lifestyle with living nature // In a near future people and plants live together in an advanced and self-curing symbiosis. Societies have learned to be more sustainable and conscious about their natural surroundings. Plants have the status of intelligent living creatures which are in direct interaction with human beings. Natural organisms together with human beings develop a highly efficient way of a symbiotic lifestyle. Plants and humans found a way to communicate, learn from each other and support everyone’s daily survival. Natural processes became so transparent that people started to transform sunlight by photosynthesis. In an endosymbiotic process humans became the host for different highly adapted organisms that are encouraged to live in and on them.
