In my thesis, I explore the communication between humans and plants, specifically mosses, and seek possibilities for contemplating a society based on a more balanced coexistence of humans with the surrounding ecosystem. In my work, I investigate the potential of speculative design as a bridging agent between nature and humanity. It is designed as an interface between mosses and humans, crafted with a balance between artistic and scientific perspectives. I focus on the needs of both mosses and humans, and in designing the interface as a user, I consider both, anticipating a shift from anthropocentric to ecocentric design. The designed interface is based on the principle of a blog or personalized website for moss, where it posts various updates about its well-being. This establishes moss‘s expression on the internet, creating an illusion of closeness and understanding from the human user. Since it involves interpreting data through technology without human intervention, this project raises questions about the paradoxical use of technology to connect nature and humans.
