Generating Virtual Landscapes and Environmental Narratives with StyleGAN2
摘要
This paper presents an AI-driven approach to landscape representation and environmental commentary through a video artwork focused on the Gardens of Stone, a natural area threatened by industrial activities. Using StyleGAN2-ADA and a carefully curated dataset of images, the project generates a video that simulates a continuous exploration of the park’s diverse terrain. Beyond visually capturing the park’s natural beauty, the artwork underscores its ecological fragility by highlighting environmental threats posed by nearby industrial encroachment. By integrating advanced AI techniques with ecological advocacy, this project offers a unique contribution to digital arts and broadens the discourse on the role of technology in raising environmental awareness, showcasing AI’s potential to create engaging, advocacy-driven artistic expressions.
