crea.visions Climate Summit 2021

In collaboration with AI4Good, Artbreeder and Klimafolkemødet, The Center for Hybrid Intelligence has created a game in which people can create pictures that tell about how they see the future we are facing. We held a competition with a price of 10.000 danish kroner. The event was held with more than 500 participants, who generated 11,596 images in total, and submitted 237 of those to the competition.

The winning images

"Electrocity." In a city where there is a lot of new electronic such as robots and several large buildings and hotels on Mars.

"Choice speed." The road is winding - the goal is objective.

"The beautiful sea." The fishing industry is happy and so is the sea, better than it has been in a long time. There is officially no more plastic in the world's oceans.

"What we have left." If the end of the world was near, would you hide in fear or stand here and spend the last minutes with me? You say that everything ends some day. And you are right. But it went faster than you expected.It is now no longer only our souls, which are on fire.But it is too late now. What is destroyed cannot be restored.We were given a responsibility but we were not strong enough to lift it alone. So, here we spend our last few minutes in each others arms. With our gaze to the horizon, we observe the final ending.

"Burning forest." Politicians promise green ambitions. And come with various speculations. A climate debate here and there. But nothing more. Forests burning. But no climate laws in the making. Around tree trunks. The flames hug. The fire rages in the wind. Where lush landscapes used to be. Animals cannot live. They have to find a new place. We must take care of mother earth. It's not enough just with words. The climate crisis must be addressed. Instead, we talk through our hats.
