In our world, nature and artifice blur, balancing us between oblivion and salvation.

Virtual habitats.

Immortal pets.

Bionic babies.

Unwind as an insect in the Metaverse

Or sow microchips like flowers.

AI. Cloning. Genetic engineering.

Nature has many new faces.

Plant stories that embrace nature’s paradox; poems and music that dance between artifice and authenticity. Show us how our existence is intertwined with nature’s complexities in this

bold new world.
