As part of the “Stories of the Future” research project at the Graduate Institute, Symbiosis explores a vision of democracy in 2050—where citizens, artificial intelligence, and the environment collaborate to navigate ecological and digital challenges.
Visitors step into the role of future Swiss citizens, interacting with the “Mayor of Earth”, an AI entity built from recycled technology and organic matter. By scanning artefacts, participants contribute to an evolving environmental and social knowledge archive, shaping the AI’s decision-making.
Created by Master Media Design students at HEAD Genève for Democracy Week, this speculative installation imagines a future where localized, AI-assisted eco-villages replace outdated governance models.
