华夏非华夏 — wurunxi

Wu Runxi

Hi, I'm Runxi—a creative researcher passionate about design and technology.
I received my bachelor's degree (2022) in Art and Technology from the School of Innovation Design at China Academy of Art, where I was honored as a provincial and university-level outstanding graduate. I then pursued a master's degree (2025) in Art-Empowered Innovation and Technology (Intelligence and Ecology track) through the university's recommendation system. I conducted research internships at Tongji University's School of Design and Innovation in the Intelligent Big Data Visualization Lab, and later worked as a Visual Design Engineer at iFlytek.

My current goal is to become a human-computer interaction researcher. My research interests include well-being-centered interactions, future empathy design, sustainable human-computer interaction, and data narrative experiences. I explore how design can transform definitions, create compelling user experiences, and foster creative learning and sustainable development.

设计说明 DESCRIPTION

人类的每张面孔其实都是一张关于自身地缘的谱系。本项目是一件结合生物学数据、传统文化与人工智能的数字艺术与建筑探索作品。基于“97.6%的中国人都是混血儿”这一生物学事实，旨在重新审视并重构“少数民族”与“华夏”身份的边缘界定。
在方法论上，通过融合中国传统面相学中的“五岳四渎”理论（将面部器官映射为泰山、黄河等地理特征）与现代深度学习技术（Style-GAN、特征权重分析），对孔子、秦始皇等历史名人及现代面部数据的采集与分析，在纵向地理维度和横向时间维度上进行形态提炼。最终，通过三维建模与数据雕塑将个体与族群的“遗失记忆”具象化，生成了一幅跨越时空的、流动的未来“华夏”肖像。

Every human face is, in fact, a genealogy of its own geography.This project is a digital art and architectural exploration integrating biological data, traditional culture, and artificial intelligence. Based on the biological fact that “97.6% of Chinese people are of mixed ancestry,” it aims to reexamine and reconstruct the marginal definitions of “ethnic minorities” and “Huaxia” identity.

Methodologically, it integrates the traditional Chinese physiognomy theory of “Five Sacred Mountains and Four Great Rivers” (mapping facial features to geographical landmarks like Mount Tai and the Yellow River) with modern deep learning techniques (Style-GAN, feature weight analysis). By collecting and analyzing facial data from historical figures like Confucius and Qin Shi Huang alongside contemporary subjects, it extracts morphological patterns across both vertical geographical and horizontal temporal dimensions. Ultimately, through 3D modeling and data sculpting, the “lost memories” of individuals and ethnic groups were materialized, generating a fluid, future portrait of Huaxia that transcends time and space.
