Mission:
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?

Idea:
Our unique approach blends AI technology with nature to create a transformative experience. Inspired by a pond 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.

Solution:
In the middle of a shopping center, visitors enter a forest within an urban environment and come across a digital fountain at its center. Screens of different sizes simulate a water surface. As they look into the well, AI technology captures their reflection and transforms it into an animal image, creating a 30-second personalized video, ready to share via a QR code. The installation fosters greater environmental awareness and responsibility.

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.
