04BIS. Au-delà des nuages

Would the “cloud” be the paradise of today?
Although this world first refers to a natural cloud such as those we see in the sky, we use it today as a computing term, to identify the famous network that connects us to the rest of the world via our computers, tablets and smartphones. Technology changes day by day to make our lives easier, but nature has been doing the same thing for a very long time. We are both curious about change and reassured by what is known. Human beings find balance between these two poles.
In order to share this viewpoint with the public, the designers of the garden have created five QR codes, a technologically advanced way of sending a message, which emerge from the ground.
The sky is symbolised by blue sand while the clouds are represented by ten species of white flowers.
