What is nature? Is it, perhaps, the devil's ivy that grows in the somber corner of our rooms? Or the digital forests we roam in our screens, when playing nature-filled games like The Legend of Zelda? Is it the family of deer that sleeps by an abandoned coal plant? Or the shiny, red tomato that I bought this morning in the supermarket?

Notes from the Silicon Age is an interactive documentary essay about the entangled meaning of nature in the XXI century. It provides a myriad of lenses to re-examine the world that surrounds us, trying to perceive nature in hidden places and building a new relationship with it from a feeling of curiosity or fascination, uncovering the complexity of the landscapes that surround us and examining nature as a source of refuge and connection, colonial oppresion, mental health, political activism, belief, creative expression or scientific fascination.

This project started in the Spring of 2022 as a Master's thesis at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and continues as a living collection of essays that grow from the author's personal fascination and curiosity.
