Building on the findings of FAUNA (2018), this volume continues the examination of information and its theorisation. Digital drawings (plantograms) and literary texts generate a texture of informational landscapes and their evolving orders—alongside the dialogic practice of language artistry, made legible. In this book—as both object and locale—geometrical and topological strategies converge to support a renewed spatial thinking. Established and assumed modes of communication are examined through reference to enrooted, immobile plant systems. Between the static positions of nodal points, a multitude of wandering messengers and messages unfold. On their paths, communication occurs between adjacent networks, extending beyond classical hierarchies. New spaces open—through these connections and through the structuring tools themselves—realised as equally new modes of being. FLORA charts these territories, rendering their relational spaces accessible through the aesthetic and scientific means of the art of language.
