“2024. March 8. The annual resources of the Earth have been exhausted. The equivalent of 4 planets is needed to satisfy human consumption. From a VPN of a second Internet, a group of biohackers, Q.R*3, tries to connect with the mycorrhiza, a network composed of a symbiosis between roots and fungi through which the terrestrial plant world communicates. The first members of this group died immediately under the effect of an unknown molecule. Nothing is known about the rest of the group.”
Formed by archaeological remains of the past and future, this piece brings together remnants of an installation created and presented in PostNaturaleza exhibition with a special creation: some samples of Q.R*3 food will be available for the audience to taste.
