About
Overview
Design a unique jellyfish that will be brought to life as a digital organism and featured in a film exhibition during the Venice Biennale 2026. The jellyfish will be included in a future-world film exhibited internationally, paired with a limited edition print (optional), and catalogued in the "Post-Human Registry" with credit.
Theme
In the year 2400, oceans have risen, cities have drowned, and jellyfish have inherited the Earth. Design a jellyfish character—benevolent or tyrannical, hopeful or brutal—that will represent this post-human world.
