I am very pleased to announce that my AI experiential videos are exhibited on four LED panels at Grand Palais, Paris, as part of AI Action Summit, created by Dominique Moulon.
In my project “For You I Will Be an Island,” I used AI as an experimenting tool, combining with memories from my childhood about the Yangtze River, where I grew up, to create a series of animated visuals that imagine how my hometown might look like in the future. AI’s vision of the future does not appear optimistic because it repeatedly depicts my hometown submerged in water or destroyed by storming waves, as if nature were reclaiming what we have taken for granted. However, it serves as a call to action for a more sustainable future and provokes dialogues about our collective responsibility towards nature. The project’s title, “For You I Will Be an Island,” suggests the nurturing essence of a mother. I sincerely hope that the Mother River will always be there for us, providing a safe island for not just her human children, but also other species to survive, no matter what our future may hold.”
This project also has a photograph and installation component. For photo series, please click here, for installation, please click here.
