The novacene*, proposed by scientist James Lovelock, originator of the Gaia theory, describes a hypothetical new geological era succeeding the Anthropocene, one in which ultra-intelligent, self-improving artificial systems become the dominant force shaping Earth&#8217;s biosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Through the use of virtual incarnation and social interaction, an immersive experience is created, facilitating connections and collaborations with the audience. Technology, including real-time motion capture, AI, and game engines, is employed to develop avatars and environments. The unconventional body types of the avatars invite consideration of how we define ourselves and how those definitions evolve interactions in virtual spaces. In this speculative simulation, the user becomes at once the author and the viewer of the artwork, an unconventional game-like experience.<\/p>\n<p>*Lovelock, J. (2019).
