Design Concept Video
The concept video of this project deduces the changes of the elephant's biological form and organ structure in the extreme environment through the interpretation of three extreme future situations, and explores the complex interrelationship between biology and technology, ecology and evolution. This is not only a scientific prediction of the future evolution of species, but also a profound reflection on the interaction between human beings and nature.

Design general exhibition board: including analysis diagram, general diagram, exhibition diagram, etc.
Main Visual Diagrams
The main visual illustrations, guided by the theory of "speculative biology", use information visualization to show the evolution path of elephants from ancient times to the present, and even in extreme environments in the future, show the change process of elephant morphology and physiological structure, and reveal how species adapt to environmental changes. The focus of the project is to stimulate the audience to think deeply about ecology and species evolution through visualization, to realize the potential impact of human activities on the environment and other species, and to speculate on the symbiotic relationship between species, environment and human beings.

Elephants, as a representative of tough and sensitive organisms, are forced to undergo species evolution and reconstruction with the changes in the ecological environment. Every evolution is not only a biological response to the pressure of survival, but also a mapping of the unconscious or conscious effects of human activities. Through the perspective of "speculative biology", combined with NetLogo system simulation technology, we simulate the possible evolution path of elephants in extreme environments, explore the change process of their morphological and physiological structures, and reveal the genetic adaptation and physiological evolution of organisms in dynamic environments.
The work explores the evolutionary path of elephants in three extreme environments in the future: extreme heat, air pollution and sea level rise. Through biological design and speculative design, the project depicts the possible evolution of elephants in these environments. The design experiment not only shows how elephants adapt to environmental challenges, but also explores new patterns of symbiosis between organisms and humans, species and environment. Based on the information visualization of the past and future evolution of elephants, the work not only conveys the possibility of elephant evolution at the visual level, but also reveals the profound impact of human activities and environmental changes on biodiversity through the combination of science and design. The project aims to arouse the audience's in-depth thinking about the relationship between biology and the environment, explore a new relationship model between species and between species and the environment, and stimulate deep reflection on future ecology and human responsibility.
Our creative practice focuses on the relationship between organisms and the environment, especially how species evolve to adapt to the challenges of survival in future extreme environments. By combining the perspective of "speculative biology" and digital simulation technology, we explore the evolutionary path of elephants and other organisms in different environments, and reveal the complex interaction between technology and nature. Through visual design language, the work reflects on biodiversity, ecological balance and human responsibility, especially when China and the world are facing issues such as climate change and environmental pollution. In this context, by speculating on the future evolution path of species, we remind the society to pay attention to the impact of ecological changes on species, and promote the attention to biodiversity conservation and ecological sustainability.
We combine digital tools and netlogo simulation technology to speculate on the evolutionary path of elephants, show the adaptation and evolution of future organisms in extreme environments, and reveal the profound impact of human activities on the evolution of species. Through this interdisciplinary speculative design, we not only provide a new perspective for the Chinese design field, but also promote the global design community in the face of environmental crisis, how to carry out forward-looking, in-depth thinking and innovation. We hope that this creation will lead society to think about a new symbiotic model of species, environment and human beings, and cultivate a sense of responsibility and mission in design and technological innovation.
Hello, we are students from China Academy of Art currently majoring in Art and Technology and Digital Media Art at the Institute of Innovative Design. We mainly focus on biological design and future ecological direction, try to combine science and art, and explore the interaction between human and nature, science and technology and environment. The works usually discuss species evolution and ecological changes through digital simulation and information visualization, hoping to provide the audience with a new perspective through design and stimulate the audience's thinking on the ecological environment and future development.
