DESIGN NAME: Mutation
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Illustration
INSPIRATION: Mutation is expressing an idea of the struggle between humans and biotechnologies. The series of works are hideous, showing the a special sense of beauty behind the peculiar noisy and abstract 3D images. The design team hopes that people get spiritual encouragement, ideological enlightenment and even spurs on words and deeds while providing people with artistic enjoyment. This is the desire for balance and development for modern biotechnology industry in this series.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design concept of Mutation is to rethink the relationship between humans and biotechnology. Also, the research with plants as experimental symbols of visual communications was carried for finding the way to balance the aesthetic, expression and visual elements. Therefore, the design team have created noisy and blurry images to metaphorically mutate cells contaminated by radiation, which creates a peculiar beauty. Finally, this series of works attempts to express the perspective of "mutation" via visual communication methods in illustrations.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This series received a number of positive opinions and were highly acclaimed on many fields. Moreover, numerous people had been touched and they had thought these works will not be forgotten ever.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project was created and completed between July and November 2021 in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: At some time in the future, silicon-based organisms have developed, which invades primitive carbon-based organisms through radiation. In the biological category, the radiation affects humans in more complex and diverse ways. They first paralyse human cognition and invade from the sensory organs and rewrite original functions. Finally, in this series, noisy and abstract 3D images are used as a metaphorical visual element to metaphorically contaminate mutant cells, thereby creating a special sense of beauty.
CHALLENGE: The most significant challenge was to express our perspectives via visual communication methods in illustrations. Therefore, the design team spent a great deal of time studying and finding the way to balance the aesthetic, expression and visual elements at the same time.
