Refik Anadol’s AI rainforest transforms Serpentine North

Refik Anadol’s AI installation 'Living Archive: Nature' opens at Serpentine North in London, after its debut at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The exhibition 'Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive' is curated by Claude Adjil and Liz Stumpf, showcasing years of research on coral reef and rainforest data. Anadol’s Large Nature Model, described as the first open-source, multimodal generative AI focused on nature, powers the immersive experience. The AI transforms the gallery into a rainforest interpretation using data from over 16 rainforests worldwide. The installation includes 'Coral' (2023), created with Stable Diffusion, trained on approximately 5 billion online coral images. The Large Nature Model was developed for DATALAND, a Web3 platform and future museum by Refik Anadol Studio, opening in March 2024. Serpentine artistic director Hans Ulrich Obrist praised Anadol’s fusion of art, science, and technology.
