SYNTHETICA — Speculative Ecologies develops the visual world of QUANTUM NATURE into a stereoscopic 3D film. Digitally generated flowers, grasses, leaves and stems expand into spatial botanical forms, transforming the speculative ecology of the original work into an immersive cinematic environment.

Rather than representing nature, the film constructs an artificial biosphere in which botanical forms appear to grow beyond the screen. These synthetic landscapes are set against images of ecological damage and environmental transformation, creating a tension between the fragility of existing ecosystems and imagined forms of artificial growth. The work oscillates between ecological fiction, digital models of nature and speculative futures, unfolding as a meditative journey through a world that feels at once organic and entirely constructed.
