Seeds (IAMAI 360 Projections - Burning Man 2018)

Seeds (IAMAI 360 Projections - Burning Man 2018) from Time Thieves on Vimeo.

Made for the IAMAI 360 projections on the 2018 Burning Man base, Seeds was created by an eclectic group of Real-time and Procedural media artists to address the theme "I AM AI".

Seeds was inspired by an excerpt from the book 'Anvil of the Stars' by Greg Bear, where a character postulates a theory that Planetism's are conscious entities, that develop evolving lifeforms in hope that they will one day attain the ability to leave the Planetism and spread her seed across the galaxy.
Seeds builds upon this narrative and asks how artificial intelligence might fit into our own evolutionary journey.
