Description

An AI-generated video artwork that reads patterns of systems: river deltas and neural networks alongside the growth logic of cities and social structures, proposing that nature and civilization are shaped by the same underlying rules of connection. Drawing on Stefano Mancuso’s research into plant intelligence, it imagines technology not as separate from the organic world but as a tool for recognizing the patterns we already share with it, pointing toward a more sustainable relationship between the two.
