[-empyre-] Gardens By the Bay

[Patrick Keilty]

Related to our discussion, I just wanted to share Natasha Myer's essay
"Edenic Apocalypse: Singapore’s End-of-Time Botanical Tourism":
https://www.academia.edu/12783355/Edenic_Apocalypse_A_Photo-essay_of_Singapores_End-of-Time_Botanical_Tourism

I recently visited Singapore's Gardens By the Bay -- an eco-capitalist
tourist trap. This is government and corporate sponsored "plant art"
on a massive scale, showing how plant art can be taken up as part of
an argument for eco-friendly capitalism.
