HydroGAN™ is a satirical installation that critiques the commodification of water and identity in an AI-driven age. Posed as a corporate launch for “AI-generated” water, it interrogates the environmental and ethical costs of technological advancement. Using performance, biometric entry, and persuasive branding, it reveals how consumer desire is engineered and belief is manufactured. HydroGAN™ urges audiences to confront the systems they trust and the silent trade-offs they have come to accept.
