CAON – Control And Optimize Nature
Scientists are turning to genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and machine learning to tackle global warming and species extinction. CAON has created a speculative ecosystem where artificial intelligence is used to create and optimise synthetic species to thrive in an increasingly hostile environment. You are invited to observe the changing ecosystem as you fly with and even help these synthetic creatures adapt to their changing surroundings via the perspective of an AI simulator. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the possibilities of a future where technology can help us mitigate or exacerbate the effects of climate change and species loss.

Workshop
Imagining a Future Where AI Controls our Ecosystem
Due to global warming and species extinction, our planet is becoming increasingly uninhabitable. Scientists now rely on genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and machine learning as potential tools to mitigate climate change and species loss. We envision a speculative ecosystem in the near future where artificial intelligence is utilized to create and optimize species capable of withstanding the increasingly hostile environment. In doing so, we are utilizing AI as a visualization tool.
The AI and genetic engineering tsunami is upon us. For those interested in engaging with this new paradigm of creation, this workshop is the go-to. Learn and create with our amazing facilitators who come from the farthest realms of tech and art practice, leading the change of creators boldly exploring a new medium. As the world unpacks and begins to understand the ethical implications of AI amidst the climate crisis we find ourselves in, this workshop offers an opportunity to be at the forefront of this emerging field.

CAON - control and optimize nature
Mobile App as Interface for Interactive InstallationsImagining a speculative future where technological solutionism has been taken to an extreme, CAON - control and optimize nature explores the potential of advanced technologies in the management of future ecosystems. In a habitat where animal, fungi, and plant species have been modified by technologies such as 3D printing, CRISPR and synthetic biology, you can observe how an AI optimizes and balances more …
