Hackathon
Problem statement
The VPROLab/Society 5.0 hackathon challenges design professionals to consider how AI can sustain us.
How can public broadcasters address the challenge of sustainability by reducing the ecological footprint, and what role can artificial intelligence play in supporting this transition?
As team we came up with a concept for a web application that visually shows the impact of landscape and climate change throughout the years (as a timeline).
Concept development
Speculative design
Users of the app can select a territory in The Netherlands or in one of the Dutch ex-colonies. They are presented with a time-lapse video of the selected location made out of paintings, archival photos and videos, satellite images, and Google street-view that show how much the landscape has changed over the years.
At the end of the video, they answer questions regarding policies that affect the climate. Based on these answers, the app will generate an AI image of how that location will be impacted by the users' stance in the future. It can depict either a green, utopian future, a destructive, grey, dystopian future or a solarpunk.
