Artificial intelligence is impacting every aspect of our lives, but what does its exponential rise mean for the natural world?

In this episode of the RCA Podcast, RCA President and Vice-Chancellor Christoph Lindner is joined by two leading voices working at the intersection of art and design, living systems and future technology.

Guests

  • Dr Danielle Barrios O’Neill: Danielle is Associate Dean (Academic Planning & Development), Schools of Communication and Design. Her research explores complex living systems, technology, and the use of advanced play and speculative design to help humans engage with and reshape ‘wicked problems’, like climate change.
  • Dr Julie Freeman: Julie is Founder of art and design studios Translating Nature and ShapedSound. Her work has seen her turn raw data from living systems, like fish or mole rats, into physical and sonic artworks. Julie's most recent work, Models of Care, uses data from Arctic glaciers to explore environmental responsibility and the relationship between artificial intelligence, climate change, and human agency.
