에피필름(epiphyllum)은 ‘이주하여 흩어진 식물’의 일종이다. 싱코피(syncope)는 모바일 테라리움이다. 제국주의의 산물로 태어난 워디안 케이스 (wardian case)를 경유한다. 싱코피를 감각하려면 몸을 움직이고 손가락을 사용하라. 흩어진 씨드의 몸집을 키워라. 인간, 식물, 데이터의 이동으로 싱코피는 비로소 작동한다. Epiphyllum is a type of escaped garden plant. Syncope is a mobile terrarium that adopts the model of the Wardian case, a product of Imperialism. Move your body and use your fingers to experience Syncope. Increase the scale of the scattered seeds. Syncope ultimately operates via the movement of humans, plants and data.
