+ | A lot of trees have numbers, all trees have a owner in Belgium but with different status (forest, private property, city of bssls) | ||
+ | |||
+ | So maybe interesting to add the parameter of ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | -> who owns it? Who has an interest in using it? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A tree is defined by lineage but also by 'the context': | ||
+ | |||
+ | -> where do the seeds come from? where did it grow up? | ||
+ | |||
+ | We make a checklist and look at it from different perspectives | ||
+ | |||
+ | Perspective of a tree: does not want to be chopped off & wants the right to light, soil & water | ||

+ | **Day 2** | ||
+ | |||
+ | - looked at 'Oak du marais' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - look at trees in front of Walvis, planned to be chopped: platans, protest because they are the 2 only trees at that side of the Boulevard (between Yser & Porte de Ninove), and because they will be replaced by 3 new trees planted 3,5 m closer to the bar (effect: the terrace will be half as big) | ||

+ | Look at the bigger picture: what if trees have legal identity & rights? | ||
+ | How will we co-live with them: as separate entities or as chimera of tree/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | -> a way to reconnect with trees, restore the natural-human relationship | ||
+ | f.ex. in Lithuania it is unthinkeable to cut a tree | ||
+ | |||
+ | -> create a map of Brussels' | ||
+ | |||
+ | -> see artificial arboreality as a business? what does it offer in terms of services (oxygen, fruit, fertile soil) - any shared good is value less in the dominant economic ideology of looking at the world -> maybe think differently? | ||
