At a time of climate instability and promises of technological solutions, nature is increasingly understood as a system to be monitored, optimised and repaired. Life itself becomes infrastructure, expected to remain functional even under hostile conditions.
Sequerciani 2076+ Specimen Protocols takes this trend to the extreme: in the year 2076, a speculative simulation on the real biodynamic estate of Sequerciani in Tuscany responds, in recurring cycles, to new ecological tensions. To address them, five competing AGI archetypes - Optimiser, Symbiont, Speculator, Archivist and Ethicist - negotiate conflicting ideas of intervention, stabilisation and responsibility. From this process emerge hybrid organisms composed of animals, fungi, plants and robotic systems.
The simulation does not ask whether a combination is "natural", but whether it stabilises the ecosystem. Each synthesis appears as a form of repair, yet at the same time generates new dependencies, risks and ecological dilemmas, which manifest as unresolved questions. The protocols shown draw their data live from the ongoing simulation Sequerciani 2076+, which is constantly evolving. They present a future that functions, yet confronts us with radical algorithmic otherness.
