**Online news portal, custom-framed e-ink displays, solar panels, micro-controllers** STWST workshop space Part of exhibition: open throughout (except 01:00-06:00 night) ---- {{:screenshot_2025-05-24_at_14-01-41_the_post_tomorrowlands_morning_post-cut.png?400nolink|}} **//The Post Tomorrow Land's Morning Post// is a hyper-local, multilingual, automated, post-fictional news portal.** Crafted using large language models informed by climate models and scenarios, it transforms a range of climate projections into speculative future scenarios, presented in the format of an online newspaper. The future looked bright when Walter Disney opened the first Tomorrowland in 1955. He promised „A vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying Man's achievements " and that "tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure and ideals ... and the hope for a peaceful, unified world." In 1956, Charles Keeling began his measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide at Manua Loa and Roger Revelle and Hans Suess produced a ground-breaking paper about the carbon dioxide exchange, stateing for the first time that "human beings are now carrying out a large-scale geophysical experiment of a kind that could not have happened in the past nor be reproduced in the future" Today, we have clocked the hottest month on record repeatedly, and the atmospheric CO2 concentrations are higher than at any time in 2 million years. That is to say, meanwhile, the future looks bleak. Disney's vision of Tomorrowland turns into Mad Max's vision of Tomorrow-Morrow Land: ruins of a civilization covered in sand and dust. We see a divided world of multiple ecological, economic, and social crises. What could our future look like? Instead of asking for science fiction fantasies of human minds, this project explores a vista into man's futures through science and "machine intelligence". It's up to you to judge if those results are the statistical mean of humanity's imagination as seen by the probabilities of transformer language models or real possibilities https://posttomorrow.land/ \\ ---- ---- **//Michael Aschauer//** is an artiste-auteur numerique and creative full-stack digital engineer.
