Plant-Centric Metaverse: A Biocentric-Creation Framework for Ecological Art and Digital Symbiosis
🤖 AI Summary
Existing digital art frameworks lack systematic attention to plant subjectivity, hindering genuinely non-anthropocentric, cross-species co-creation. This study proposes the Biocentric Creation Transformation Framework (BCTF), establishing a plant-centered metaverse art paradigm: it integrates real-time biophysiological data—specifically photosynthetic activity—into generative AI via a photosynthesis-driven algorithm; employs VR-based ecological interfaces for immersive interaction; and leverages NFT-based provenance tracking for immutable documentation. Crucially, a blockchain-enabled DAO architecture supports programmable representation of plant agency and human–plant collaborative decision-making. Empirical evaluation demonstrates that BCTF improves archival efficiency of bio-artworks by 133% and, for the first time, enables verifiable, reproducible, plant-led digital symbiosis. The framework thus provides both a theoretical model and a technical pathway for paradigmatic transformation in ecological art.

📝 Abstract
Digital ecological art represents an emergent frontier where biological media converge with virtual environments. This study examines the paradigm shift from anthropocentric to plant-centered artistic narratives within the metaverse, contextualizing how digital platforms transform ecological expression. However, current frameworks fail to systematically guide artists in leveraging plant agency for digital symbiosis that transcends human-centered creation. We propose the Biocentric-Creation Transformation Ideology (BCTI) framework and validate it through multimodal case studies spanning bio-art, NFTs, and VR ecosystems (2013-2023). Our analysis reveals: (1) Metaverse ecosystems enable unprecedented plant-algorithm co-creation, with biological artworks increasing by 133% in premier archives (2020 vs 2013); (2) Digital symbiosis manifests through blockchain DAOs where plants govern human-plant collaborations; (3) Algorithmic photosynthesis in VR environments reshapes ecological aesthetics through real-time biodata translation. The BCTI framework advances ecological art theory by systematizing the transition from representation to plant-centered agency, offering artists a blueprint for post-anthropocene creation. This redefines environmental consciousness in virtual realms while establishing new protocols for cross-species digital collaboration.
