The Voice of The Land 2024

An AI-powered installation for UNCCD COP16 that transformed land degradation from an abstract statistic into a conversational encounter. I supported prototyping with code for a bilingual MetaHuman trained on environmental data, scientific research, indigenous knowledge, and dialogue models.

The work matters as it showcases a common conflict between the message and intent vs environmental implications of the technology used. This was large-scale public experiment in environmental storytelling, asking how interaction can make planetary systems feel immediate and relational.
