These dangerous looking thorns 'Zao Jiao Ci' would appear to represent some form of self defence for the tree. A natural evolution with the purpose of protecting the tree's fruit, or seeds from climbing creatures?

The wisdom of the tree aroused my curiosity(just because i don't ever have this knowledge), which lost at least one of its handsome thorn!
Yes, there is sprout at the armpit of the sharp thorns, and just amazing how the needles taking the space in the most effective way, mathematical and engineeringly, but each has its unique form.
The e-space lab project is exploring how internet connections between people in diverse urban and international contexts can enable a dialogue that helps make more meaningful a reciprocal representation of what the conditions of actual everyday life in different places really are. Many of the ideas, illusions and misrepresentations that shape our understanding of where and how other people live in places different from our own can fall away in this kind of dialogue, and also be replaced by a live and ongoing pattern of multiple alternative representations. The forms that we use range from the human voice (by Skype or phone), text, text messages, and images produced by digital cameras and mobile phones, video of course, and even to web pages and podcasts. We like to engage with these forms in a process of dialogue and exchange, using whatever resources are available, and exploring the potential of new tools as they come on stream, especially streaming video. As artists we are especially interested in the role the arts play in valuing practices and the human qualities that shape everyday life in the different places we find ourselves.
