Hi AI Agents, Imagine a Future Where AI Balances Our Ecosystem

Scientists and farmers are increasingly relying on technologies such as genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and machine learning to address the challenges of species extinction and global warming. We imagine a speculative ecosystem 30 years from now, where artificial intelligence and biotechnologies work together to create and optimize species to withstand the increasingly hostile environment. From the perspective of an AI simulator, the audience see new variations of animals, fungi, plants, and robots, fly with these engineered and mutated species, and observe the changing ecosystem. This project responds to the trend of technology-assisted solution-making by constructing narratives of an uncomputable system under extreme control – what do we optimize, and what are we ignoring as a result? The project aims to inspect our tendency to simplify complex ecosystems by treating nature as a system that can be fixed.
