yongwook seong imagines banff as a surreal eco-park
Persevering with his exploration of the intersection between design and synthetic intelligence, Yongwook Seong presents a brand new sci-fi structure sequence titled Banff Extraterrestrial Park, developed utilizing Midjourney. The AI-generated mission unfolds as Extraterrestrial 006 visits the Canadian metropolis of Banff and terraforms it to develop an eco-tourist park as a part of an Earth revitalization mission that enhances inter-galactic travels. In an effort to keep up an ecological equilibrium, the Extraterrestrial Architects start to assemble this new panorama utilizing autonomous stardust drones. Whereas one mission sees a futuristic inter-galactic communications tower rising from Banff’s mountainscape, one other sees a large spaceship-like Commentary Tower perched atop a steep ridge, providing unobstructed panoramic views of the town.

The AI-generated pictures depict the cityscape and panorama of Banff turning into fully terraformed. The flying object 006 hovers above the town, releasing floating spheres fabricated from stardust that are capable of remodel into any object in earthly time and area. On the bottom, terraforming drones and floor bots have been launched by the aviation division to conduct analysis and building. Altogether, the Extraterrestrial Architects assemble a surreal inter-galactic construction rising from the contours of a rocky mountaintop, a futuristic Sky Lodge offering anti-gravity suites for 006, and mycelium fungi towers hovering above the panorama.
Banff Extraterrestrial Park was generated utilizing Midjourney, a end result of a technique of inputting text-based prompts from alien-related key phrases into this system. To start with, Midjourney triggered many inventive iterations of extraterrestrial design which prolonged past the designer’s authentic intention. Nevertheless, he quickly realized the constraints of creating use of human-made algorithms to ascertain structure produced by aliens. ‘Supplies collected by AI are earth-bounded, and largely primarily based on human information and creativeness. These subsequently precipitated the scope of the mission inherently restricted.’ feedback Yongwook Seong.

Additional, inside his AI-generated sci-fi sequence which options extraterrestrials as a protagonist, Seong is cautious to keep away from depictions of the beings themselves, selecting as an example their surreal architectural marvels as an alternative. He chooses to keep away from portray an invasive and ‘otherized’ nature of aliens as seen in H. G. Wells’ ‘The Battle of the Worlds’, whereby monstrous Martians with large tentacles have significantly influenced notion in the direction of aliens from an early time. Seong proposes: ‘anthropogenic and Eurocentric information choice has given start to skewed outcomes of alien design through the creation course of. This might present that the shortage of variety in information will hold posing basic questions in the direction of AIAD (Synthetic Intelligence Aided Design).’
