What is Next Nature?

With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

Giant Plush Microbes

The bear is a wild animal, a predator and hostile to man. Yet somewhere in the beginning of the 20th century someone caught the idea of making a cuddly toy out of it. Perhaps that’s why in our time, the bear is no longer a threat but a museum-piece and so it seems that we are in need of new natural enemies to conquer.

So what are the ‘new’ threats? What are we afraid of? It’s MICROBES, VIRUSES and FAT CELLS!

Expanded a million times, this is what you get:

    Just follow the link to thinkgeek.com julien, you can fill up your cart with as many virusses and microbes you like. And here’s another tip: don’t go spreading your email @ddress on public blogs unless you are in desperate need of spam.
