Plant Futures envisions the evolution of the Circaea alpina flower from 2023 to 2100 in response to climate change. This artistic research project creates a unique flower for each year within this period, utilizing climate data projections to influence visual attributes. The project originated from an artist residency in Helsinki, where research on the local ecosystem revealed the flower's increasing rarity due to climate effects. Designed through data-driven algorithms, the flowers’ forms are a result of mapping current morphology with anticipated climate changes, highlighting the flower's adaptation strategies.
The project imagines how a single flower, Circaea alpina, might evolve between 2023 and 2100, employing data-driven, artistic methods to visualize future adaptations.
Future flowers were designed using algorithmic mapping and artistic control, transforming real climate data into 3D models that represent potential changes in the flower's morphology.
The artistic exploration of Circaea alpina highlights the delicate balance of ecosystems, emphasizing how climate change impacts not only species survival but their morphological characteristics.
As temperature rises and precipitation decreases, the flower's petal coloration changes to red as a protective adaptation, demonstrating a direct response to environmental stressors.
