Symbiotic is a speculative design film for the European Commission’s Future Policy Lab, in collaboration with Purple Martin. The film transports viewers to the mid-21st century, where a groundbreaking device enables humans to experience the world through the senses of other life forms.
SYMBIOTIC challenges our traditional notions of intelligence and interconnectedness, with the potential to inspire future environmental policies. The film intertwines four narratives: the expansive mind of a sperm whale, the intricate society of an ant colony, the gut-brain connection, and the network within a forest.
