This piece is a mashup video made of found royalty-free stock footage, 3D animated GIFs, and still images. The intertwined relationship between nature and technology was my main inspiration for this speculative work. I am exploring the role of art in shaping and humanizing technological domains, and questioning how humans can better integrate technology with biological systems to form a symbiotic relationship with the environment. My research-based approach emphasizes the untouched spaces in between the digital and physical worlds. The ever-changing technological landscape is forever changing the natural landscape. Therefore, I illustrated the merging of the World Wide Web and Wood Wide Web rhizomes in order to create a new hybrid ontology that would raise awareness and help tackle the global ecological crisis we are facing.
