Bio Sculpture (Scene of a Future Boutique)

“Bio Sculpture” is an art project exploring the theme of “Technology for Multi-species” in the Anthropocene. By opening scientific and technological advancements to natural ecosystems, the project seeks to explore potential forms of technology and unlock the latent potential of natural environments. It presents sculptural works directed towards the natural environment, using materials that can be considered seeds of ecosystems. In the midst of a metropolis where the importance and difficulty of creating nature is often overlooked, the project encourages people to observe nature from a macroscopic perspective. This installation was created for the 25th Japan Media Arts Festival Award Exhibition. It features a section of a work that was installed in Chiba City (Makuhari New City) for about a year. The project portrays a future where its original intent is lost, and it is merely bought and sold as a decorative item.
