This is a walk-through planetary game played by big tech seen through artist gaze. A game where we are unawarely participating as a resource, product and a consumer. Starting by dismantling the concept of AI Art it moves towards artworks working with and around AI, its impact on our society and planet, revealing its materiality. It ends with artist take on sustainable practices in relation to AI implementation. Game industry often fetishize new tech but it also has a great power to educate and reveal mechanisms behind it. This talk is not about games but about the game that powers them.
