Manifesto

The Machine in the Botanical Garden is an artistic project, but not only that — it’s a vision of the future we want to build.

It defends the use of technology as a tool for liberation. Not for control or exploitation, but to elevate the human being.

It believes in a kind of technology that allows people to live without worrying every day about whether they’ll be able to fill the fridge or pay the rent.

A technology that, if truly at the service of everyone, can give back time, calm, and space to reconnect with what really matters: beauty, empathy, imagination, silence… our soul.

It stands for public, free technology — not hijacked by elites or private interests.
A technology that doesn’t widen social gaps, but helps close them.

That doesn’t turn us into consumers or products, but helps us become more human.

An unstoppable force that could take us to places we can’t even imagine yet. Maybe even connect us with the universe.


But the project is not naïve.

It acknowledges that any tool can become a weapon.

That’s why The Machine in the Botanical Garden is also a warning.

The garden can bloom or it can be fenced in.

Machines can build… or they can watch us.

It is a song of hope, but also a shield of awareness.

It imagines a future where the artificial does not replace the human, but enhances it.

Where the algorithm doesn’t decide for us, but helps us listen more clearly.


The project uses music and poetry, tradition and technology, to express all of this and more — drawing from the past, the present, and the future.
