Artist [dNASAb] presents “Faux Ecologies + Augmented Visions of the Micro-verse,” an AI-assisted film that dives into the unseen world of microplastics and microorganisms and explores their hidden interactions. This installation transforms the spherical form of the structure into a dynamic, translucent water droplet, revealing an intricate, fictional ecosystem at a microscopic scale. “Faux Ecologies + Augmented Visions of the Micro-verse” serves as both a meditation on the fragility of our environment and an experimental use of cutting-edge technology to bring new dimensions of environmental storytelling to life.
