Why it’s interesting
This 2025 Ars Electronica work asks AI to imagine new bird species adapted to heat, drought, and habitat loss, then invites visitors to continue inventing animals of the future.
Climate adaptation becomes a visual speculation game. Familiar anatomy mutates into plausible and unsettling bodies, making an abstract environmental question concrete.
How to try it
Open the official Ars Electronica archive, view the main image and installation records, then read the artist statement. The physical interaction has ended, but the online archive remains accessible.
Use the official page or demonstration as the current reference. Do not assume that a staged installation, limited experiment, account-gated demo, subscription feature, or physical product is available everywhere.
