The story of earthly ai

Plants have been around for roughly 470 million years, while our first ​human ancestors have only been around for 5-7 million years. Yet when ​we represent plants, we often portray them at the bottom of the pyramid: ​something that doesn’t feel or communicate. But what if they could? What ​if this anthropocentric misconception has been created simply because ​we don’t speak the same language? Earthly.ai investigates what it might ​mean when we represent plants via AI, and communicate with them in ​digital space. Come hear plants finally telling their story.

A project by Elise Marcus and The Department of ​Earthly Matters since 2017.
