Glory Mold
Glory Mold: 2084 by Produced Mood: This project explores a speculative future where AI has evolved in symbiotic relationship with slime molds, creating novel human-technology-nature interactions. Drawing inspiration from the remarkable capabilities of slime molds—organisms with 720 sexes, centuries-long lifespans, and decentralized problem-solving abilities—"Glory Mold: 2084" presents an alternative technological development pathway where AI is deeply integrated with organic systems. The project materializes through immersive installations, providing audiences with interactive experiences of this speculative universe. Residencies at the University of London's Digital Humanities Research Hub have developed both experiential components and participatory workshops that invite organizations to engage with the Glory Mold concept as a strategic tool for envisioning more equitable futures. This event will discuss the project and demonstrate how this speculative framework challenges conventional AI development narratives and offers new perspectives on technological advancement. Glory Mold invites critical reflection on current trajectories of technological innovation and human-nature relationships while providing conceptual models for alternative, more sustainable technological futures.
