Ruisi Fang
About
Ruisi Fang is a designer dedicated to continuous exploration in the field of speculative design. Her work traverses the boundaries between two and three dimensions, investigating the complex entanglements between the digital realm and the physical world. She focuses on embodied perception, artificial intelligence, and future speculation, translating her ideas into installations, publications, media art, and various hybrid forms.
Her recent research centers on how everyday technologies leave invisible traces on the human body. Often grounded in personal observation and physical experience, her projects combine speculative design with future archaeology to explore how technology embeds itself within our bodies and habits as a form of embodied memory.
Her latest project, The 207th Bone, presents a fictional archaeological excavation set in the year 2257. In the ruins of East China, archaeologists discover an anomalous, evolved human phalanx. Using narrative speculation and immersive installation, the work reconstructs a dystopian future: a pinky finger bone that mutated over time due to prolonged smartphone support gestures. This project invites viewers to reflect on how today’s digital behaviors might one day become anatomical evidence for deciphering the present.
