Co-Winner: AI & Generative Art

Pro-Futures is an interactive application that produces films based on a user’s input. The user provides a style, author, graphic preference, and a prompt. Pro-Futures provides the user with a film told in the framework of a para-fictional documentary. These documentaries describe possible futures based on data extrapolations and thought experiments when pushed to their limits. The resulting films give the user a hint of what it would be like to swim in a flood, or what happens if the ramblings around the communal office water cooler are extrapolated past their hypothetical scenarios.
