ai.land nation

ABOUT

ai.land nation invites visitors to experience a dynamic exploration of Singapore’s future, as told through AI-generated narratives and speculative brands.

In this installation incorporating performance, fashion, brand, motion graphics, soundscapes and AI, participants will confront the fictional representations of future branded retail and fashion commerce, while questioning the role of AI as a medium that shapes our understanding of the world around us.

Sustainability and ecological consciousness have become integral aspects for the current design agenda. For ai.land nation, LASALLE College of the Arts students celebrate the legacy of Singapore’s rich history of trade and commerce whilst exploring the potential of AI as a medium for shaping the future of design for an island nation, to stimulate critical discussion and reflections on the possible futures of design and society.
