FutureFantastic brought together a group of creatives working across different forms, disciplines, and locations from the Global North to the Global South in collaboration to explore and interrogate the role of art and technology in the urgent context of the climate crisis. Many artists today have been engaging and experimenting with machine learning processes in both creative and critical ways. As much as we need to interrogate the bias and ethical issues behind the use of AI, there is also a need to question its role and impact on our environments. Technological advancement, specifically artificial intelligence (AI), is scary and enchanting at the same time. Melting ice caps and acidification of oceans, draughts and floods, and wildfires are some of the impacts, the scale and influence of which is still being researched. So, what if now there is global warming that will make several of the existing flora-fauna vanish? This is certainly one way to look at the so-called climate crisis. Is climate change for real? And even if so, is it just part of the evolution of Earth? There was once an ice age, then dinosaurs roamed freely before they got extinct, and the humans came into being.
