VIRTUAL ECOSYSTEM : AI & Digital Life par les étudiants de l’option Arts numériques et M.A.I (Musique Appliqué Interactive) de l’École Supérieure ARTS² à Mons et leurs professeurs Martin Waroux et Cédric Sabato
Virtual Ecosystem: AI & Digital Life immerses visitors in an experience where artificial intelligence, driven by a desire to preserve biodiversity, creates a poetic vision of nature fused with the digital. Without direct access to the real world, the AI imagines a hybrid reality, a virtual cabinet of curiosities where fauna and flora blend with digital elements to form a dreamlike ecosystem.
Projections of bio-digital landscapes unfold, accompanied by a soundscape where real and virtual sounds converge, guiding the spectator’s imagination. The sound design generates mental images, giving tangible form to abstract visuals for an experience that is both individual and collective. This project, developed by students from ARTS² Mons, explores the connection between nature and technology while raising awareness about ecological preservation.
