Through following their paths and proto-machine connections, the variable atmospheric conditions they control, underground and aerial hotspots and diverse water flows and fountains, we gain insight into the complex poetic and vibrant playgrounds these biomimetic digital artifacts inhabit. Alien beings whose growth we initiated distant ages ago have achieved their independence, including the possibilities of self reproduction and regulation of ecosystems.

Reminiscent of ancient sculptures imbued with multiple functions as psychological, mythological and religious actors and regulators of society, so do these soft and hard biomimetic agents offer a safe, ongoing future and serve as a curious sanctuary from ordinary life, a playful arena for rethinking society.
