🚨 Launching Online Tomorrow
Critically Extant by Sofia Crespo
Critically Extant is about the troubling gaps in our collective understanding of biodiversity by pushing publicly available data to its breaking point: millions of open-source nature photos and records of roughly ten thousand species feed bespoke AI models that conjure portraits of creatures so critically endangered they barely register online. Debuting as an Instagram-native exhibition, the project slips these speculative specimens into our everyday scroll, hoping their uncanny visages spark curiosity, and, ultimately, care. The algorithm’s imagined forms, sometimes eerily accurate and sometimes wildly off-mark, expose both the poverty of our datasets and the urgency of expanding them; yet they also signal possibility, inviting anyone with a camera or a feed to seed new, life-affirming feedback loops that keep these vanishing beings in sight, and, with luck, in existence.
