Mutopia: Visualizing the Unseen

Today, the boundaries between technology and humans are blurring. Technology becomes part of ourselves as the extension of the human body. There is no doubt that technology amplifies our abilities, but at the same time, we are also adapted to the logic and rules embedded in these tools and technologies. Through the lens of speculative design and posthumanism, this project critiques about the traditional humanistic sense of the "human" and its instrumentalized view of the "nonhuman" and speculate our possible relationship with artificial intelligence and its impact on creativity.

Mutopia stands for mutant + topia. As part of the thesis project, Mutopia is an immersive experience that allows viewers to walk through an imaginary world populated by interspecies hybrids created with machine learning, using over 5000 images. Inspired by the theory of posthumanism and speculative design, it's considered a way to speculate the future and critique normative humanness. Poster series and book were created to promote the idea and document the creation process.
