The Big Smoke – Beatrice Lartigue

  • Description
  • The expression "The Big Smoke" evokes a big city and the pollution associated with it.
The Big Smoke takes visitors on a journey through time and space, with a central theme: air pollution.

The project draws on Design Fiction through a speculative and critical approach aimed at inspiring alternative visions of the future, by materialising potential scenarios.
The deployment of generative AI opens up an imaginary world around climate change and encourages the exploration of related concepts (urbanisation, density, flows, etc.).

How can we use AI to explore our relationship with our environment in a speculative and forward-looking way?

The Big Smoke combines research and simulations in order to materialise non-visible elements, explore scenarios, encourage visitors' curiosity and provoke discussion.
The simulations images are generated with text to image machine learning model.

    HTX Tech X Summit 2024 Opening Video (AI Generated Content)
    
												
    From the creators and team that produced the Holographic Opening Performance for the launch of Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) back in 2019… After five years , HTX is back and this time round, we produced an opening video using Generative AI which was something that never seen done before in Singapore as of this date of posting.
    

    

									  
    
									
    

            
									
    

                    
    
												

													
													

	

												
                    
    

										
    

                    		
    Di-Dah-Dit – A telepresence device by Camille Morizot
    
												
    Di-Dah-Dit is a telepresence device that takes the form of two distant objects connected. Two players face each other and manage the progress of a ball balancing on two rails.
    

    

									  
    
									
    

            
									
    

                    
    
												

													
													

	

												
                    
    

										
    

                    		
    AI Facial Profiling, Levels Of Paranoia – Exploring the effects of algorithmic classification
    
												
    Created by Marta Revuelta, AI Facial Profiling, Levels of Paranoia is a project exploring the potential and implication of AI technologies by proposing a machine that recognises the ability of an individual to handle firearms and predicts their potential to cause harm from a biometric analysis of their face.
