About this Event
Bringing together artists, designers, and researchers, this panel discussion will explore how AI is reshaping the narratives, aesthetics, and working conditions of climate and ecological practice.
Following short presentations from each panellist, the conversation will ask whether AI can meaningfully support critical climate practice, or whether its dependence on extraction and concentrated power places it fundamentally at odds with it.
