Simmons, Tom and Golding, Johnny, 2025, Conference or Workshop, ReWilding AI : Weather spores at SIGGRAPH Asia 2025, Hong Kong, 2025-12-16 - 2025-12-18.

Abstract or Description:

ReWilding AI leads you into stunningly immersive, curious and paradoxical ecologies of AI through an immersive game-based experience called Weather Spores. Through a multi-dimensional maze of five immersive portals, you will encounter the symbiotic interspecies intelligence of mycelium, birds and trees, cross expanded geographies of urban AI data systems, and witness present-tense archaeologies of the supply chains that deliver AI. You will play with carbon and blow straws and ‘sticky encounters’ via the strange and wild worlds of ‘emergence’ and ‘indeterminacy’, and explore how the very fundamentals of linear and non-linear thinking and creating triangulate with the political, the cultural and ethical to encourage different forms of individual and collective agency. In ReWilding Ai, we move away from probability and randomness towards indeterminacy, emergence and entanglement. Here we find critical, urgent new ways to query the temporalities and geo-politics of AI, rethinking immersive generative AI through art-led practice from the ground up and for the common good.
