“When you cut into the present the future leaks out” – William Burroughs
Future Plants is an elaborate manipulation of media – a neon noir, rain spattered window into the near future; a love letter to science fiction with a utopian ambition to affect the future itself. Immersive virtual installations of techno-orientalist botany pulsate in infinite darkness. [Source: Vimeo]
