fuse*: synthetic botany: Reimagining Nature Through Creative AI

Over the past seven years, fuse* has undertaken a continuous exploration of botany, ecology, and artificial intelligence.Through three distinct but interconnected series -Artificial Botany, Unseen Flora, and Mimicry -the studio's practice investigates how algorithmic tools can be used not only to simulate but also to reimagine natural systems, species, and evolutionary trajectories.From early experiments with botanical illustrations reinterpreted through neural networks to the speculative creation of hybrid plant-insect organisms, each project expands the narrative potential of artificial intelligence in relation to environmental themes, exploring each of them through creative lenses that combine scientific research and visual experimentation.
