Via the dense network of embassies located in Berlin, the flags – whose uniform color and patterning is owed to ribosomes (RNA) that can be found in bacteria, plants, animals, and human beings – are intended to send a global message of shared sensitivity to the environmental and cultural concerns of our common home, planet Earth. Berlin, the European capital with the highest number of diplomatic missions, at the same time serves as a starting-point for further artistic activities, which will be spread via the global network of embassies and the Internet.
