ROY ASCOTT : ‘’The ‘three VRs –virtual, validated and vegetal ‘merge into a continuous flow of ‘variable reality’, it is the right moment for a future anterior step which will lead to the awareness of the Next Nature.This means, of course, not an inert, passive or genetically programmed participation but a conscious involvement in the evolution of those forms and emergent behaviours which we identify with life and which, as our powers of intelligent collaboration and participation increase, will come to constitute the new nature”
