Regenerative Symphony by Studio Above & Below

Innovation catalyst: Rosanna Di Nuzzo (on behalf of MEET Digital Culture Center - RSC project "S+T+ARTS in the City)

"Regenerative Symphony" is an interactive immersive installation investigating the desirable future of critical minerals, which are rare essential building blocks of emerging technologies. The project utilises synthetic and natural material data through a custom AI model for regenerative purposes, imagining a future between 2030-2050 in which humankind is purely dependent on recycling critical minerals, rather than extracting them from the landscape, challenging the current extreme difficulty of recycling critical minerals on a social and microscopic level. The project output in the form of a generative projection focuses on revealing the beauty of reuse through the metaphor of sound symphonies.
