does nature still exist? there are countless opinions is all what is human-made nature, because humans are animals, or is nothing nature anymore since humans exist? And if we ask all these questions we can also talk about nature 2.0. But what does that mean? We don’t want to answer this with words, we want to articulate this term with our space for the ars electronica. However, to introduce into our thoughts we start with terms which come along in nature and which we found important for our nature 2.0.

In nature, highly interesting structures arise from their smallest parts. These work only in the context of the whole network and can lead to new kind of aesthetics.

The design approach of all the proposals is very similar but then again very different. One thing they all have in common is, they are based on the idea of agents - multiple entities interacting in space. These agents are placeholders for fibers which finally organize themselves and form a coherent network and space.
in the first phase of design we started creating spatial assemblies out of charged fields. This worked quite well in generell, except the minimum of differentiation of the space.

in the second phase of design we tried different approaches of form finding to get to a space which is complex on the one hand but on the other hand still simple to understand. Geometry-based, and both vertical and horizontal emergent spaces were investigated.

Finally, we decided to develop our space controlled but emergent. On the one hand we would use strict behaviors and instructions to control the agents and on the other hand we would treat the space boundary not so tide, to get a more emergent proposal.
