ATMOSPHERE © is a design intervention which explores the future potential of AI in new aesthetic dimensions by visualizing the anthropogenic pressures of urban environments such as air pollution. Through ritualistic interactions with a totemic object utilizing machine learning and a global network of air pollution sensors, the object is capable of forecasting air pollution levels 24 hours in advance, allowing audiences to re-interpret their faith in technology through a lens of technoanimism and divination.
