Could miniature drones soon be used to pollinate crops while at the same time the basis of life for millions of living beings gets lost?

As an artist and researcher, it is Claudius Schulze’s motivation to explore the worlds behind the surface of the everyday. He documents by means of large-format Photographs, 3D scans, animations, animal preparations and microscope images species extinction, shows the development of bionic robots, records animals and their behavior, visualizes urban retreats of wild nature from the perspective of autonomous machines and creates new species with its own artificial intelligence. Biosphere X is an attempt to document these developments and reflect.
