Phytosphere Italy
A symbiosis controlled by plant intelligence
Phytosphere presents a new mechanism of symbiosis among an interdependent and mutually improving plant community. Six plant-machine hybrids, that are controlled by the 'intelligence' of plants, are empowered with new abilities for plants to take the initiative to explore and adjust their own surrounding environment and develop self-identity. As radical speculation, the project is seen as an innovative strategy for the evolution of plants and a provocative trigger that provokes a critical reflection on the role and survival of plants in the ever-expanding man-made world.
