I'd like to start by asking you to imagine a color that you've never seen before. Just for a second give this a try.
A speculative study of creatures that never existed, kind of like a speculative biology.
Yeah, well, as you guessed correctly, the red panda. And this maybe could be due to many reasons, but one of them being how cute they are, which means we photograph and talk about them a lot, unlike the boreal felt lichen. But both of them are classified as endangered. So I wanted to bring visibility to other endangered species that don't get the same amount of digital representation as a cute, fluffy red panda. And to do this, we trained an AI on millions of images of the natural world, and then we prompted with text to generate some of these creatures.
So thank you.
