A silhouette of a human body pixelates an anthropocene landscape stylized by AI technologies that copy the look, color schemes, and stroke styles from images of plastic. The body is in a playful, real-time interaction with moving images of anthropocene landscape that is transformed into the artwork through the aesthetics of plastics in its natural life-cycle. A kinect camera tracks the body to create real-time interactivity with the assistance of AI solutions. The real-time interaction between the machine and the human body evolves as the performance unfolds.

Plastic Biosphere is a series of artworks that highlight the imperative coexistence of humankind and the material, plastics. In the anthropocene era, humankind created over 300 million tons of plastic every year, and this production has become a geophysical force of nature. The ubiquitous material extends beyond our reach and control, creating its own life-cycles, existing as an unignorable element of the biosphere.
