Ecocene looks back at today's planet from a speculative future, in which human culture has been left behind by artificial intelligence. The forking-narrative game is populated by memories based on 'Changing Natures', a project that invited the public to contribute objects and stories to a digital collection that explores unfolding processes of environmental transformation. Made in collaboration with the natural history museums of Berlin and Paris, Ecocene was developed by Trust – a Berlin-based collective featuring FLAMIN alumnus Calum Bowden and graphic designer/developer Son La Pham.

Changing Natures: Ecocene is a collaboration of Trust and the project 'Changing Natures' at Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (MfN) and Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN), Paris, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Ministère de l‘Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche (MESR). It was designed and conceived by Calum Bowden, Elisabeth Heyne, Son La Pham and Mira Witte.

Trust is a global network of utopian conspirators based in Berlin. Since 2017, Trust has operated as a para-institution— not quite an academy, not quite an industry lab — where practitioners can experiment with collaborative models, test new tools, and develop shared knowledge outside commercial pressures. Through reading groups, residencies, public events, workshops, and an active Discord community, Trust maintains both physical and digital infrastructure for collective learning and critical discourse. Trust is currently maintained by Leïth Benkhedda, Calum Bowden & Lina Martin-Chan, although constellations may vary.
