Another Future Entirely (Nejc Trampuž)

https://another-future-entirely.com
AI-based multimedia art and research project offers a refreshing approach to environmental awareness by presenting a brighter, sustainable future and social justice. It features an audiovisual projection and an eco-fiction anthology. It was exhibited for the first time in Simulaker Gallery, Novo mesto, Slovenia (march 2023).
What could a more ecological society be like? What should our values be? Should we get rid of capitalism? Is technology really a solution? How to achieve resilience in the face of climate change? Is all this just a utopia?
With the assistance of future technology: artificial intelligence (AI), a mental tool shows us a world where protection of the ecosystem and social justice is a priority and where we develop solutions for the global challenges driven by overconsumption, such as global warming and biodiversity loss. The AI reflects discourses in our society by learning from human-created content and at the same time allows us to enter the realm of non-existent. This technology will have a significant impact on society and artistic production. Trampuž advocates for exploring its meaningful applications while warning of potential harms. AI generated texts and images were used and collaged together.
Trampuž designed the project in multiple parts to address different age groups and spheres of the public. The first one is a dual-channel audiovisual video projection of dialogues and animated digital collages. They reflect current discussions on political systems, energy production, food cultivation, housing, transport, and more. The second part is a book of short eco-fiction stories that relate to specific issues and are set in different imaginary worlds and situations of present and future time. They let us explore our ways of coexisting, written from the perspective of humans, as well as animate and inanimate nature. Each story is accompanied by a collage composed of AI-generated cutouts. Additionally, there is an academic article by Rok Krajnc introducing alternative systems and good practices for further research.
