Join us on a journey through LLMscape, a multimodal exploration that harnesses Large Language Models (LLMs) alongside physical interactions to render abstract climate narratives both tangible and relatable to the public. Within this experience, participants wield agency over a sand table terrain, witnessing the islands’ vibrant emergence through a dynamic projected panorama. Every nuanced manipulation echoes through simulated agents dwelling within, reflecting the intricate play between human actions and environmental repercussions. This installation addresses the disconnect between human perception and climate realities, rendering distant and muted habitats tangible. By combining LLMs with physical embodiment, LLMscape invites contemplation on the synergies between technological agency and the palpable realities of our evolving habitat.
