「明日地球」設置於國立科學工藝博物館，為氣候變遷展示廳展區內的作品。詮釋地球在不久的將來，由於受到劇烈「氣候變遷」的影響，兩極的冰層快速融化後，地貌在短時間內大幅變化所造成的衝擊。
由於重要的文化與資產盡被海水所覆蓋，面對熟悉又陌生的居住環境，人們憑著對都市零碎的記憶，重新建構出一個明日的世界。
作品使用立體堆疊層積的方式，透過 RhinoScript 編寫出電腦輔助設計與製造的流程，才得以將複雜的模型（由 411個不同的區塊模型拼裝而成）在兩個月內製作出來；嘗試用當代的工藝技術，重新寓言地球給我們人類的警語。
「Tomorrow never knows (2015)」is a project setting up in NATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM (NSTM), in Kaohsiuang. As a part of Climatic Change Exhibition, this model presents an imagination of our world after abrupt change when sea level rising.
By using digital tools (Rhino + RhinoScript) with fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology, we try to explore the possibility to working with affordable 3d printers. First, To divide the earth model into 411 different pieces, then to assemble these printed models to a sphere shape (with diameter of one meter), it makes the process more achievable from geometry studying to final fabrication with digital chain method. The whole project used 38 kg filaments to print and 2400+ printing hours, which is presenting a contemporary fable to remind us the Global Warming problem.
