Turkish media artist Refik Anadol addresses climate change with AI-driven installation at Davos
One of the pioneers of the aesthetics of "data painting,' world-famous Turkish media artist Refik Anadol created a new site-specific installation at Davos, aiming to address climate change, one of the biggest problems facing humanity.
The data sculpture, which he called "Artificial Realities: Coral," is based on nearly 1 billion images of coral that have been processed with machine learning classification models.
It connects a digital ecosystem of data and a natural environment brimming with countless living ecosystems, aiming to use the potential of both the Metaverse and blockchain economies to alleviate global climate change issues.
"This artwork focuses hundreds of billions images of underwater flora and fauna to see is there's any chance to reconstruct what we lost in ecosystems," the artist told Anadolu.
