Interactive Hologram Installation: AI-Generative Creature

DESCRIPTION

This project aims to speculate on the future ecosystem of New York City in the context of global warming and marine pollution through the use of machine learning. By simulating various environmental factors and potential adaptations of the species living in the city, we can gain insights into the possible ecological ramifications of global warming and the emergence of new forms of life. Through the use of narrative and visualization, this project presents data on climate change and marine pollution to provide a unique perspective on how the ecosystem may evolve in a future where these issues continue to worsen. It is important to note that this is a speculative exercise and the ultimate outcome will depend on the actions taken to address global warming and plastic pollution.

INTERACTION
