MisMatching Nature 
an AI-driven visual journey to highlight the 
urgency of the climate crisis


This editorial project explores the kitchen as a communal space through an archive of conversations and photographs. 
        The kitchen exerts a special pull and fosters an energy of connection. It is where deep conversations are had in the late hours of a house party and social bonds are formed and strengthened through the cooking and sharing of meals. 
        The archive combines photographs of the kitchen and its objects with fragments of recorded conversations - from the meaningful to the seemingly trivial - capturing both tangible and intangible elements of social life. It offers insight into the deeply personal yet universally shared experience of gathering around food.
        The book finally consists of two parts: The first part interweaves photographs and conversation fragments, reflecting the natural flow of social interactions as well as the content and mood of the conversations. The second part serves as an index, offering a new perspective on the main content.

PROCESS
1. explorations in Dall-E






2. prompting in Stable Diffusion

Then we extracted prompts from Dall-E and adjusted them for prompting in Stable Diffusion. At this point Stable Diffusion offered more control in the generation of images and the possibility to process images in batches. Therefore, we first created basic animations of the plants in After Effects based on the plants created in Dall-E. Subsequently, we extracted frames from these animations and used image to image generation in Stable Diffusion to return to the initial visual language explored in Dall-E.





3. animation

Finally, five plants were animated from the images created in Stable Diffusion and an AI generated voice over and soundtrack added to explain the phenomenon of ecological mismatching and support a dystopian effect in the final video.
