In the context of the metaverse, the student questioned the possibility of interacting with natural elements typical of the virtual environment and the offspring of technology. This perspective goes beyond the stereotype of the metaverse as a place focused on economic transactions, transforming it into a space where it is possible to live, interact and experiment, thus contributing to improving the quality of life and strengthening the bond with nature.
Gan 'Eden is a project with an encyclopaedic collection of self-generated plants, the result of advanced machine learning technologies. It is a digital archive consisting of botanical cards with infographics describing digital native nature, also in the form of collectible cards. Each plant, in this case flowers, represents a unique and unrepeatable digital asset as an NFT, contextualised in one of the metaverses of the contemporary era of digitalisation.
The project is the result of an experimental path that ends with the actual realisation of a digital container and a printed product. A collection of plants for the metaverse, the result of technology. The machine, using GAN networks (one of the latest frontiers of machine learning), reinterprets a dataset of real plants to populate the virtual parallel universe, creating a digital garden where it is possible to discover a new form of nature, free from the constraints of the real, extravagant, digital native.
The resulting images are of a speculative nature, generating a renewed interest in the concrete element of nature.
