The artwork “Mežs” (Forest) is a speculative look into the future of nature and engages with my growing interest in the application of AI and forests. Combining data collection of tree species from different environments and StyleGans217, an ML image-making technique, the artwork proposes new species of trees that are computer-generated, and also traces their habitats by composing the soundscapes that surround them. This new species of trees could cover the Earth in the future to maintain natural balance. The result is a fictional collection of trees that proposes and simulates a future alteration of the planet's biodiversity, with results that are often unimaginable, abstract and absurd.
