Haoge’s research investigates how design and media practices mediate relationships between planetary, technological, and more-than-human systems. His approach combines spatial thinking with environmental humanities, tracing how architecture and visual culture register the material, ecological, and epistemic transformations of the Anthropocene.
His current work explores the cultural and technical dimensions of solar industry, water infrastructures, and sensing technologies, examining how these systems shape modes of perception and governance at planetary scales.
Through Metamorphic Zone, a collaborative publishing and research platform, he develops experimental formats for collective inquiry that bridge aesthetic, scientific, and philosophical perspectives, engaging practitioners across disciplines to rethink the conditions of coexistence on a changing Earth.
