Fragments from a nature cult
The Late Period of the Information Age
Fragments of a larger image from a nature cult. This period saw the nascent developments of genetic engineering, which in turn would inspire political, philosophical, and spiritual frameworks for resolving the new boundaries of “nature.” Among the ideologies to emerge in this time, ecocommunalism, eco-reconciliation, Prometheanism, technogaianism, and Viridianism would serve as ancestors to a large number of subsequent developments. Digital rot has eroded significant volumes of primary sources of the era, obscuring the specific knowledge-value of surviving cultural objects. Based on the time period and geographical origin, the cult was likely oriented around a goddess figure, her image now lost after the cult’s icons were defaced.
