Carboflora is a virtual forest resurrecting plants from the Carboniferous period — the deep past that still haunts our toxic present. These fossilized giants, like scaly Lepidodendron trees, evoke primordial nature and the dragons of myth, reminding us how far we’ve come and what we’re risking.

In the “capitaloscene” age, coal remains a cancer feeding climate chaos. Carboflora translates this crisis into a real-time ecological oracle: its virtual plants respond directly to global air pollution data—PM2.5, NO2, O3, CO, SO2.

Uniform white surfaces strip the environment of distraction, spotlighting urgent concepts: futurism’s “past-future tense,” technological optimism, and the deep-rooted hope embedded in medicine and biomimicry.

Five virtual trees breathe with data pulses, each tied to a specific pollutant’s weight. Higher pollution means stunted growth; cleaner air lets them soar. A subtle AI-driven avatar guides visitors through this breathing terrain, triggering real-time soundscapes that echo the planet’s pulse.

Carboflora isn’t just an environment — it’s a living barometer, a silent protest, and a call to reclaim our future by reckoning with our past.
