Pictured above is our first prototype of an example of the transgenic plants we may encounter. This rose is engineered to create a hormone similar to oxytocin, the bond-forming chemical found to naturally strengthen relationships, such as between mother and child.
Unlike the florist now, a visit in the future may be similar to entering a lab full of enhanced plant-life that perform roles in society. These may span from strengthening community cohesion, a rare sight of nature in the city, bio-haking, a place to enhance your love-life or to get your medical supplies.
We'll continue to share our process, much like opening-up our sketch-book, as we develop works from Co.Futures.
