Plant Estate

In the future of «Plant Estate», bio-engineering has created unlimited memory for all information. The cloud has been replaced by data storage in plant tissue. Plants have become an integral part of information exchange. The use of this new system has fundamentally changed the accessibility, transmission and securing of knowledge. Some voice over extracts: «Today we decided on ‘Hello World’ as the sequence. 00>A 10>C 01>11>T» «P. needs some datasets which can only be found in Japan’s pagoda trees, but they don’t grow where he lives.» «Accessing ground plant information is considered suspicious.»
