The artworks that have already been pulled into it are becoming distorted and replaced with clusters of numbers representing their numerical embeddings.

Tech Futures: Better Imagination for Better Tech Futures

This image is a collage with a colourful Japanese vintage landscape showing a mountain, hills, flowers and other plants and a small stream. There are 3 large black data servers placed in the bottom half of the image, with a cloud of black smoke emitting from them, partly obscuring the scenery.

A network diagram with lots of little emojis, organised in clusters.

Tech Futures: AI For and Against Knowledge

A brightly coloured illustration which can be viewed in any direction.

The hands evoke human involvement in the extraction and manufacturing processes.
