The relevance of the topic arises from the potential transition we can undergo, moving from the Anthropocene, the era of humans, to the Symbiocene, an era of harmony between humans, nature, and technology. This experiment emphasises the importance of realising this transition. When humans consider themselves sovereign over all that exists, in the future, we may only perceive some non-human entities through their artificial reproductions. Additionally, it is noted that our limited definition of 'technology' is a flaw in promoting this transition.

Today, we primarily define technology as digital devices invented and introduced during our own lifetime, such as smartphones, computers, and self-driving cars. This narrow view does not align with the true essence and has led to ignorance. Humans have always been inherently connected with technology.

This concept is translated into three different methods. The first version consists of a video depicting a rotating digital tree. The second and third versions go a step further and utilise the Three.js JavaScript library to implement 3D objects in a web environment. The interesting aspect of this feature is the ability to customise the objects, as seen in the third version.

The first physical form involves integrating a phone. In this case, a portion of the tree trunk is hollowed out so that the phone becomes a 'natural' part of the tree.

After integrating the phone, it became apparent that the visual image wasn't quite effective. It gave the impression that it was merely a holder for the phone, akin to a bedside table. To address this, the next step involved using a Raspberry Pi 4 (single-board computer) with a 3.5-inch Waveshare screen to further emphasise the prevailing perception of 'technology'.

The artwork 'Artificial Reproduction' focuses on the consequences of the Anthropocene, an era in which humans are sovereign over all existence. With this work, I depict a vision of what nature could look like if we adhere to a sovereign ideology. On a tree trunk, a screen is displaying a digital 3D rendering of a tree. This technique offers the possibility to customise the 3D object, in terms of shape and colour. This allows the viewer to adjust the digital object to their choice, giving them control over the visualisation.
