Planet Brain confronts the climate crisis by exposing the paradox of a world overflowing with data yet paralysed by inaction, uneasily reliant on AI to decipher planetary distress. Orbs suspended in celestial darkness evoke the “overview effect,” a transcendental awareness of Earth’s fragility, as shifting, AI-generated visuals trace patterns of extraction and collapse—silent witnesses to an unfolding ecological crisis.
