Set in the year 2226, this work envisions a world shaped by ongoing global warming and rising sea levels. As people adapt to a constantly changing climate alongside technology, how are everyday life and culture formed? Drawing on imaginations gathered through workshops, it uses scientific data and generative AI to create a future travel guide to Shibuya. Visitors explore fictional destinations on their smartphones, sometimes leaving reviews, engaging with the city as if they were residents of this future world, while reflecting on their own ways of engaging with climate change.
