This work explores the transmutation of biological and geological elements across planetary evolution and human activities, touching upon geotrauma, extinction, and nonlinear futurity. Through microscopic imaging, AI-generated animation, and environment simulation, it depicts the metamorphosis of inorganic matter among species and intelligence.
This work is commissioned by Hyundai Blue Prize Art + Tech 2023 exhibition “Metamorphic Ecosphere” curated by Xiao Zong, showing at Hyundai Motor Studio Beijing, November 4, 2023–March 31, 2024.
