The installation questions the beauty and brutality of the interconnections present in nature. Inspired by various symbioses and parasitisms, in which imitation and mimicry play a crucial role, a micro-environment of two objects and a living being has been set up. It consists of a tropical plant, a modified fan and a low resolution LED screen. Thanks to a camera and an intelligent algorithm, images imitating the plant are produced on the screen. A perpetual learning process enables this adaptation to reality. At the same time, the light from the screen helps the plant to survive. The modified fan acts as a source of wind; a form of natural chaos. The three entities form an ensemble, richer and more powerful than the sum of their individualities. It is an environment capable of generating surprising behavior, produced by the exchange between dead actors (the screen and the fan) and a living actor (the plant).
