Welcome to the world of CompuTerra, a future where plants have evolved into machines. This multimedia exhibition explores the feminist and ecological utility of utopianism for a world exhausted by climate crisis fatigue. In this utopia, nature and machines are blurred, creating a jointly composed reality where the plants become not only machines but computer components. In remaking nature, we look to alternative ways of existing in both the technological or virtual, and the ‘natural’ world; as well as finding new ways to engage with the environment and each other.
