"There was a guy next to me in a hammock. He was trying to read his old newspaper but his hands were all shot. He wobbled a little as he looked at the big print window but also stared up at the sky. It’s not like he was expecting a response."

All Gone is an experiment in collaborating with AI to shed light on climate imaginaries. In the project, AI functions as our co-author, who has (machine) learned about climate imaginaries on the basis of training sets of climate fiction literature, indigenous climate change stories, climate-themed visual arts, and Hollywood ‘climate disaster’ film trailers.

All Gone was made by the Visual Methodologies Collective at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. This project is part of the larger program Climate Futures: Machine learning from cli-fi, in which we collaborate with algorithms to create new imaginaries for life with a changing climate. Climate Futures is kindly supported by CoECI Amsterdam.
