“Symbiotic ecologies" involves the study and understanding of interactions and relationships between different organisms in an ecosystem. Ecology of course can extend beyond traditional biological contexts and can be applied to various systems, including social, economic, and technological environments.
EchoFlows is inspired by the Tree Communication Mechanism, explores the symbiotic ecologies of communication between tree roots and their reflection on human society. We draw a parallel between trees and the internet, envisioning the latter as a colossal Mycorrhizal Network connecting people globally.
It mirrors the personalised nature of social media algorithms (Pinterest), prompting reflection on the symbiotic relationships between users, content, creators, and platforms. Our aim is to raise awareness about online behaviours, encouraging self-reflection on how they shape our perceptions and connections to the world, fostering a critical examination of the impact of personalised algorithms on our digital experiences.
