Refik Anadol: Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive at SERPENTINE Gallery

16 February - 7 April 2024

A trailblazer in the realm of machine intelligence aesthetics, Refik Anadol is a visionary artist and technologist celebrated for his groundbreaking media endeavors and monumental public displays. "Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive," Anadol's inaugural solo exhibition in the UK's institutional sphere, casts spectators into immersive realms forged through extensive exploration of visual data gleaned from coral reefs and rainforests over the span of years, showcasing AI's boundless creative capacities.

At the heart of the exhibition lies the UK debut of "Living Archive: Large Nature Model," a bespoke creation meticulously tailored for Serpentine North. This installation swathes the gallery's walls in AI-conjured imagery inspired by the rich tapestry of flora, fungi, and fauna drawn from 16 rainforest locales worldwide, meticulously gathered through advanced technologies like LiDAR and photogrammetry. Blurring the boundaries between art, science, and technology, Anadol also unveils "Artificial Realities: Coral," a sensory voyage through sound and video, underscoring the pivotal role of coral reefs in our planet's oceanic ecosystem.

Additionally, viewers are treated to "Artificial Realities: Rainforest," Anadol's latest endeavor, representing the most extensive continuous generative AI visualization of nature to date. Serving as the inaugural installment in a burgeoning series, this project harnesses The Large Nature Model, the world's premier open-source generative AI model dedicated to nature. "Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive" delves into the transformative impact of technology on our perception of the natural world and our temporal and spatial experiences.
