Catastrophic collapse and loss of advanced technologies have catalyzed transformation into alignment with nature. Simple technologies are fused into planetary cycles to heal biospheric damage through human stewardship. Most technologies are locally manufactured and distributed, and knowledge is shared through interconnected regional networks.

Bamboo, infrared sensors, hydraulics, rocks
In a post-collapse society shaped by ecological restoration, stewardship tools would abound, but what about those made for celebration?
Donated by a small coastal society in the 29th century, the water zither is an augmented traditional instrument that combines salvaged pre-collapse technology with the ingenuity of local artisans. When powered on, the zither produces six "strings" of water made playable by attached infrared sensors.
With water that was ritually gathered from the nearby sea and rivers to produce the playable strings, this artifact symbolizes its people's attention and regard for the waters close to home.
