In April 2022,
artist Tian/Zhanyan (the dragon fruit) constructed a virtual future,
initially based on the reconstruction of an urban farm in an abandoned city,
exploring the paradigm of symbiosis between human beings and nature.
From 2023 onwards, the project evolved into a ‘post-human life form’
that breaks through the boundaries of the species, and constructs a ‘post-human life form’
through the continuous experimentation with virtual ecosystems
in a critical response to the critical response to modern civilisation.
This artistic practice is essentially a discursive experiment in eco-philosophy,
attempting to rebuild the symbiotic dimension of love and nature
through the digital world, and to build an imaginary world of mutual aid, solidarity and trust.
