数植共生｜Symbiosis Original

Symbiosis is a speculative short film using projection mapping and video effects. It explores a symbiotic relationship between data and cyborg plants.

In 2028, scientists developed a new data storage method that turns plants into data servers using extensive electronic roots and conductive soil without damaging them. And that leaves us to the question: If your data lives in the plants around you and could die with them, would you feel the urge to take care of their lives? Would you still treat them as plants, the living creatures who are generous enough to spare their capacity to humans, or machines that would be disposed of once failure occurs?

Symbiosis（共生）是一个探讨数据和植物之间的共生关系的思辨设计短片。在2028年，科学家研发出了植物数据终端，作为相比云端存储更为清洁的数据存储方式。由于只有通过维持植物的生命才能保证有效的存储，在一棵植物数据终端濒死时，它身边的植物终端会试图转移它的数据以防止丢失。当数据和植物共同存亡时，是否能够警醒人们去珍惜自然的给予？人们是否会将赛博格植物视作可以报废丢弃的机器？这种以人为中心的科技发展，对于自然而言真的公平吗？
