Interview The Wick x Refik Anadol, ‘Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive’

This culturally curious hop invites you to Echoes of the Earth: Living Archives, a groundbreaking immersive exhibition from Turkish media artist and AI pioneer Refik Anadol at the Serpentine in London. This marks his first ever institutional solo exhibition in the UK.

‘Echoes of the Earth’ prompts reflection on our evolving relationship with nature. The exhibition showcases real-time generative environments inspired by coral reefs and rainforests, using advanced technologies to collect data, such as LiDAR, photogrammetry, and capturing high-quality audio and visuals of diverse ecosystems.

Anadol’s ‘Large Nature Model,’ the first open-source generative AI model for nature, was unveiled at the 54th World Economic Forum for his upcoming DATALAND museum and web3 platform. In Coral Artificial Realities, Anadol incorporates 5 billion coral images, partnering with institutions including The Natural History Museum and the Smithsonian.

We had a chance to deep dive into Anadol’s practice and vision in an exclusive interview dropping soon. Subscribe to thewickculture.com
