This team’s research included investigating various environmental factors that affect climate change, which they categorized as positive or negative (while acknowledging that many are controversial). They selected six factors to examine, and discussed how they could engage with them, from creating mobile apps to VR to direct activism. They settled on the creation of an audio-visual experience which gives viewers an opportunity to see different mutations of the urban landscape affected by climate change using GANs (Generative Adversarial Network) in order to generate video-frames, while simultaneously illustrating that the language of mutations, variations, and deepfakes are also something that describes our present.
