The JIN ARTS team integrated cutting-edge technology, modern art, and fashion in their latest creation—EARTH 2124, an innovative commercial art space at Wuhan SKP-S.

Inspired by the sci-fi novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", this project creates a reborn polar world in the aftermath of global warming, presenting a narrative that is both cautionary and hopeful. The entire space is divided into three thematic zones: the polar bear zone "Endless Floating Ice", the corridor "Frontier", and the penguin zone "Haven", forming a future world fraught with monumental challenges due to global warming yet brimming with resilience and hope. As visitors walk through these zones, they feel as if they have traveled through time, witnessing the dramatic transformations of Earth caused by human activity and observing wildlife tenaciously adapting to these changes with their survival instincts.

EARTH 2124 also excels in technological innovation. The integration of cutting-edge technologies such as multimedia digital art, biomimetic mechanics, and dynamic programming creates a surreal ecological landscape teeming with lifelike synthetic wildlife, including polar bears, penguins, and wolves. These art installations go beyond mere visual feasts; they are designed for immersive interaction, showing visitors the subtle changes of the Earth in the future. Notably, the synthetic wildlife installations react to gestures, offering a non-contact interaction that draws visitors deeper into the scenes. Visitors are no longer just bystanders; they actively participant in this journey into the future, discovering how technology and art converge to create a brighter, sustainable future. This thought-provoking journey motivates visitors to embrace their role as caretakers of the Earth—protect the environment and promote sustainable development to ensure a promise land for generations to come. It also sparks a pioneering spirit and raises eco-consciousness among all visitors.
