The Future Body is a speculative design project that explores the relationship between human bodies, sound, and the Anthropocene through generative art. Beginning with open-ended interviews and thematic analysis, the research draws upon concepts such as the “body without organs” (Deleuze & Guattari) and “rhizomatic thinking” to challenge centralized structures of identity and power.
In this interactive system, a hybrid form—part tree, part human spine—visually embodies the tension between freedom and control. Though it appears to move freely in response to random sounds, its behavior is still shaped by hidden systems and coded rules. The work provokes reflection on how we listen, how we adapt, and how external forces invisibly shape our transformations in a world defined by ecological uncertainty and technological governance.
