Title: Flowers of the future.
Authors: Berner, Annelie (AUTHOR)
Source: MIT Technology Review. Nov/Dec2025, Vol. 128 Issue 6, p82-87. 6p. 10 Color Photographs.
Subjects: Climate change, Plant evolution, Empirical research, Flowers in art, Biological adaptation, Aesthetic judgment, Climate extremes
Abstract: The article focuses on the artistic research project "Plant Futures," which explores how the flower Circaea alpina might evolve in response to climate change from 2023 to 2100. The project combines artistic expression with scientific data, modeling the flower's morphological changes based on climate projections, such as temperature and precipitation variations. Through collaboration with biologists and data artists, the project visualizes how the flower's size, color, and structure may adapt over time, reflecting the impacts of climate stressors like drought and increased ozone levels. Each year from 2023 to 2100 is represented by a unique flower design, illustrating the potential long-term effects of a warming world on this species. [Extracted from the article]
