“Visions of Destruction” is an interactive AI work where the viewer’s gaze reshapes idyllic, AI-generated landscapes, inscribing nature with human presence. Using eye-tracking and Stable Diffusion in real time, it inpaints what you look at into scenes of ruin, then slowly regenerates. Echoing Surrealist cut-and-collage and a dreamworld psyche, the piece reveals fragile ecologies and turns looking into a choice - an urgent call for environmental care.
