Part of a Wearable Art Show
The scene takes place in a not-too-distant future where environmental pollution has become extremely toxic to all living things. All humans that populate this world must wear biohazard/containment clothing that protects them from their polluted surroundings. People have adapted their technological research and developed an extremely effective protection “suit” in the form of a living, fungus-like organism. This organism consumes atmospheric pollution and excretes oxygen as its byproduct. By entering into symbiotic relationship with the organism, the human is fully protected from environmental toxicity. The result, human hosts become hybrid organisms or bio-cyborgs that have successfully adapted to their natural habitat.
