Biotope of " Deep Vermins"

This immersive installation reconstructs a biotope featuring a selection of 3D species from my master’s the- sis «Deep Vermin.» This thesis, in the form of a bestiary, illustrates species that have managed to respond to the environmental upheavals caused by the extraction indus- try of the components found in an Apple iPhone 5s. Ins- pired by the real adaptive abilities of actual species and with the help of Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT, new spe- cies have been created and imagined to survive in these ecocide-affected areas, thus envisioning a utopian future where nature and technology coexist harmoniously. This installation questions the ethical and environmental im- plications of our growing dependence on technology and materials, while also seeking to redefine the boundaries of imagination.
