Research for One Subject Many Projects

Idea for One Subject Many Projects

Moving a tree – planting it somewhere else. As if: I (a human) move the plant, just like the wind grabs the seeds of the dandelion and disperses it.

If we think of the future: as humans adapt, and all other natural processes adapt to changing circumstances, we might see a sort of invasion from trees, plants etc., coming into our houses, buildings etc. A sudden increase in mobility of trees and plants will rapidly disperse them to new areas that were not meant to hold plants or where they are “threatening” the existing order. The evolution of the “old” nature such as trees, plants etc., could develop in a faster and faster pace, thereby suddenly making this invasion possible.

This could turn into a war of some sort: a war: humans vs trees.

No need to keep biodiversity; no need to uphold nature as it is in the year 2015 (it is already lost) No need since we manufacture what we need, only using exactly what we need: The extreme optimization: Humans need only one diet, they live in the most optimal way possible. The thought of extreme productivity; the thought of extreme rationalization leading to a need for (human) people to kill biodiversity; kill the trees that there is no longer a need for.

So the human system will develop a system of attracting the seeds from the trees, basically creating a trap. Through manipulation of a living tree (the prisoner of war), the humans will make the tree send out vibrations that interfere with the waves in which the seeds are being moved (the wind currents), thereby attracting the seeds into the trap. Once the seed is collected, it will be destroyed. This way the humans will slowly erase and kill entire species of trees and plants.

First part of research and creation:
