In this experiment, you are invited to use DALL-E to create new animal, fungi, plant and robot variations and fly with them through a speculative ecosystem from the perspective of an AI agent. These hybrid creatures are modeled on real-life counterparts and are based on scientific publications in the field of genetic engineering and synthetic biology, which can be viewed by lineage. In this speculative simulation, robotic sensors are used to run through cycles of perception, calculation and action. You can experience how an AI tries to calculate all the components of an ecosystem in order to control and balance an uncontrollable ecosystem.
