In this vision, plants and flowers—symbols of Earth’s natural ecosystem powered by solar nuclear fusion—are juxtaposed with artificial flowers created by AI. This fusion illustrates the possibilities and harmony that arise when technological evolution coexists with the natural world. It speaks to the ongoing relationship between humanity and the ecosystem, which has been sustained by the sun's fusion energy since the origin of life on Earth.
"Crypto Plants" is an attempt to integrate these challenges and possibilities into a single work. Plants and flowers, which absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, symbolize the natural ecosystem based on solar energy. Meanwhile, artificial solutions like CCS technology are poised for further development, calling for a reconsideration of the balance between human creations and nature. This artwork portrays AI-generated artificial flowers coexisting with natural plants as symbols of the fusion between technology and nature.
As humanity explores a new equilibrium between the energy released by nature and the energy created by science, "Crypto Plants" expresses the harmony between nature and civilization formed throughout human history from a future-oriented perspective. This work serves as a symbolic representation, questioning the coexistence of advancing technologies and nature while offering new possibilities and hope for views of Future.What we have learned from the global energy crisis is not just ecocentrism, but also the need to reevaluate ecomodernism and technocentrism in order to integrate human civilization with nature.
