Inspiring Reflection on Human-Nature-Animal Relations
Our world is facing a major challenge: the depletion of the Earth's limited resources demands urgent attention and action. The AI Symbiosphere installation at the Xintiandi Design Festival, aims to inspire reflection on the crucial relationship between humans, nature and animals. How can we shape our coexistence with nature in the future? The installation aims to inspire reflection on the crucial relationship between humans, nature and animals.
How can we shape our coexistence with nature in the future?
When visitors visit the installation, its reflection on the digital water surface is transformed into an animal image.
Blending AI Technology with Nature
Our unique approach blends AI technology with nature to create a transformative experience. Inspired by Cai Guoqiang’s installation “Heritage” where animals gather to share limited resources equally, we use AI to transform visitors’ reflections into animal images. The innovative concept bridges urban and natural elements, encouraging visitors to rethink their relationship with the environment. By merging real and virtual worlds, we aim to inspire greater awareness and responsibility for our planet's limited resources.
Digital Oasis: Where Nature Meets Technology in Urban Retail Space
In the middle of a shopping center, visitors enter a forest within an urban environment, a fully immersive scenario of conflict and drama. Walking along the path built on the "architectural ruins", visitors come to a digital fountain at the centre, made up of both screens and mirrors. Three screens of different sizes simulate a water surface, while the mirror reflect the reality around the visitors.
Sustainable Design: A Blueprint for Zero-Waste Exhibitions
With 95% of materials reused or recycled, the installation promotes environmental awareness. Real plants from partner “Maratti” are reused post-exhibition. The “Flamingo” steel structure is designed for quick assembly and recycling. The modular system ensures high efficiency and sustainability. An AR experience, “Saying Goodbye, One Last Time,” enhances the installation, blending live performances with AR technology to create a unique farewell ceremony.
The reflections of the visitors are transformed into animal faces.
