Symbiosis
Description
Together with Maria Bodill, this campaign explored the reevaluated belief in nature by returning to the roots of our existence; the fungal network. This higher power thrives underground, uniting all living organisms. Post Neon envisioned an ‘alternative reality’ in which nature and technology co-exist in harmony, nourishing each other in a sacred balancing act. As godly figures flourish out of the surrealistic landscape, we can question ourselves: Could technology and nature ever exist in a state of symbiosis?
Reflection
From a critical perspective, the impact of alternative reality aesthetics on consumers could be profound. By presenting a vision of symbiosis between nature and technology, the concept challenges the prevailing paradigm of technology as a force that disrupts and degrades the environment. This shift in perspective has the potential to inspire consumers to reevaluate their consumption habits and advocate for more sustainable and ethical practices in their own lives.
On the other hand, the concept of alternative reality aesthetics could also be seen as a form of escapism, offering a utopian vision of the future that may be difficult to achieve in reality. Consumers may be drawn to the aesthetic appeal of this vision without fully engaging with the practical challenges of implementing sustainable practices on a global scale.
