Nebunexus laniflora: especies para coexistir

Abstract

Nebunexus laniflora is a fictional plant species emerging from the Meandro del Say wetland, located next to the El Recodo neighborhood in Fontibón, Bogotá. Known as the "fog flower," this species was proposed as a potential collaboration between the community and the young trees affected by drought. Inspired by partial interactions between the inhabitants and the wetland’s plants, the species captures moisture from fog through its wool structure, providing drip irrigation to the trees it connects with. This project reflects the collaborations that could arise between species and technology, promoting ecological balance. As a resident of the neighborhood, my proposal aims to encourage greater responsibility towards the wetland and foster the creation of technologies that support its preservation. Through speculative fiction and theories of interspecies cooperation, Nebunexus laniflora envisions a future where nature and technology work together to sustain vulnerable ecosystems.
