Tokens for Climate Care
Commissioned by the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, and designed by Process – Studio for Art and Design, 'TTokens for Climate Care' uses AI-based technology to create new and original graphic symbols based on a comprehensive database of logos, symbols and glyphs. Preliminary "labelling" of the data by the team with key terms that cover a broad definition of climate care, including its social, political, environmental and economic aspects, enables the AI model to design new symbols based on their meaning.
The new 'Tokens for Climate Care' will be presented in a spatial laser installation making the generated output data visible in real time. By selecting three terms from a list of labels that allow for endless combinations, visitors can take part in determining the meaning of the created symbols via their smartphones. The output samples are accessible worldwide and can be used freely by and for climate caring initiatives and activism.
