An artist intervention by Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert about artificial intelligence (AI), image generation, and the environment.

Text‑to‑image AI platforms often “cross‑stitch” synthetic images using vast amounts of second-hand visual material. Can you identify similarities between AI-generated images and the cross‑stitched landscape embroideries from the 1940s–80s found in Swedish second-hand shops?

What kind of images would AI generate with the prompt “Imagine a landscape 100 years from now, shaped by the long term environmental impact of artificial intelligence”? And what kind of future landscapes can you imagine?
