Four god beast image (model rendering)
This experiment deduces a class of future mythical beasts that symbolize the power of algorithms, corresponding to the four major geographical divisions of China and the corresponding local environmental pollution. In terms of ideological implications, due to the tendency of environmental degradation caused by human control and utilization of nature, such mythical beasts are used to provide hope for the elimination of environmental pollution. The image of the mythical beast is generated by the algorithm, following the rules of digital analysis at the bottom of the algorithm and the style of computer vision generated under different computational methods. In terms of modeling composition, the future mythical beast is composed of environmental pollution-related organisms and environmental pollution-related visual elements: the former is the existing organisms in nature that can identify, tolerate or decompose pollutants, and new species that can be created by synthetic biotechnology and have similar functions; The latter refers to the characteristics of environmental pollution revealed at the visual level. In terms of shaping rules, the shaping rules of traditional mythical beasts are followed, but corresponding algorithms are used to simulate respectively: the hidden space interpolation algorithm based on the exaggerated deformation of natural organisms corresponds to the generation of confrontation networks, the mixed training of the characteristics of various natural organisms corresponds to the mixed training of various biological images, and the fusion of biological forms and natural elements corresponds to the mixed training of polluted images. In terms of fictional functions, according to the natural attributes of the creatures that make up the mythical beast and their relationship with the corresponding pollution, this work fictionalizes three functions of prompting, resisting and eliminating pollution. In terms of application form, taking into account the scientific and technological background and natural background of the algorithm era, this work combines the image of the mythical beast with bioelectric sensing detection technology to fabricate the mythical beast pollution monitors in various regions. The mythical beast is regarded as an intermediary connecting the digital environment and the natural environment, bringing daily ecological attention to people immersed in virtual life.

Using the Generative Adversarial Network GAN algorithm to simulate the shaping rules of traditional mythical beasts and generate future mythical beast images
Algorithm generation method:
1. Based on the exaggerated deformation of natural organisms, the hidden space interpolation algorithm of the corresponding generation adversarial network.
2. The feature mixture of various natural organisms corresponds to the mixed training of various biological images.
3. The fusion of biological morphology and natural elements corresponds to the mixed training of pollution images.
Dynamic Algorithm Interaction (Framing)
In the future, the mythical beast can serve as a bridge between the digital environment and the natural environment, and form daily ecological concerns in the digital society through specific application forms. The mythical beast pollution detector can monitor the pollution visual data in real time and put it into the cloud algorithm database to generate a real-time dynamic evolution of the mythical beast image according to the change of the pollution situation.

Detailed design scheme
Humans have entered the age of algorithms. On the one hand, intelligent technologies such as deep learning are gradually constructing the illusion of "algorithmic justice" in society, affecting human cultural cognition. On the other hand, the lifestyle immersed in the digital world further increases the distance between man and nature, weakens people's ecological concerns, and strengthens the trend of environmental degradation. This work takes algorithm as the creation medium, takes the mythical beast culture with artistic visual effect and rich humanistic connotation as the expression carrier, takes the spiritual connotation, the modeling method, the modeling composition and the application form as the innovation key point, combines the social environment and the natural environment development trend of the algorithm era, designs and presents the future mythical beast cultural landscape. The aim is to guide people to reflect on the influence of algorithms on cultural cognition, pay attention to the environmental problems in the era of algorithms, and construct the design thinking of "humanity-technology-nature" for the algorithm society.
[Simulation of Chinese Traditional Modeling Techniques with Artificial Intelligence Algorithms] This work uses algorithmic logic to simulate the modeling rules of traditional mythical beasts. The algorithm logic here can be divided into two levels: training logic and generation logic. In terms of training logic, the three image training ideas correspond to the three configuration methods of traditional mythical beasts: the deformation of a single creature, the fusion of a variety of creatures, and the fusion of creatures and natural elements. In the generation logic, the underlying randomness of the image processing algorithm is deliberately retained, and the unfamiliar effects brought about by fusion, iteration and emergence are explored to produce a different vision from the traditional mythical beast.
[Thinking about the ecological view of the algorithm era based on the future god beast culture]: The god beast in the algorithm era is the product of the development of algorithm technology and the deterioration of the natural environment, which not only reflects the social psychology that the algorithm relies on, but also symbolizes the beautiful hope of purifying pollution. Due to this unique cultural attribute, the future god beast can serve as a bridge between the digital environment and the natural environment, and form daily ecological concerns in the digital society through specific application forms. In the future context, this work combines the image of the mythical beast with bioelectric sensing detection technology to fabricate the mythical beast pollution monitors in various regions.
[presenting the cultural landscape of the future god beast with generative digital art]: in the physical presentation, it is divided into three parts: physical model, interactive simulation and digital image. Through translucent 3D printing and surface color processing, the pollution monitor column model of the four mythical beasts was made. Use dynamic light and shadow and data screen to show the environmental interaction process of the god beast pollution monitor. Through algorithm generation, modeling rendering, and digital image processing, the dynamic mythical beast image generated in real time according to pollution data is simulated. At the same time, the fictional future god beast landscape is displayed, presenting a complete experimental narrative and design picture.
