It's not a poorly written piece and while I think the art is shite, I respect the approach :
"On the issue of data and copyright, Anadol told NPR that the dataset that underpins Machine Dreams: Rainforest – what the founders call a "Large Nature Model (LNM)" – is trained on data collected first-hand from 16 rainforests around the globe. It is also trained using data partnerships with the Smithsonian, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Getty, iNaturalist, and London's Natural History Museum.
"The best way to achieve responsible curation is to build our own models and be radically transparent about where our data comes from," Anadol said in an email.
Asked about how Dataland will handle environmental custodianship, Anadol said, "Sustainability is not a constraint we work around; it is a condition we build from." "
We could be seeing much much worse than this.
