I’m happy to share that our project “Lumi”, in collaboration with UNESCO, The Ocean Agency, and London College of Communication's collaborative unit, has been awarded for the ‘Ocean Decade Challenge 10’! Alongside Amira Mutiara, Cheryl Chiu, Clara De Pauw, and Kate Ruscher we've developed LUMI, a digital platform that utilizes AI to generate unique, hybrid deep-sea creatures, highlighting the possibilities of what creatures exist in the depths of the ocean, yet to be discovered. Our aim is to shine a light on the darkness of the deep sea. By leaning into this unexplored aspect of the ocean, Lumi sparks curiosity and stimulates users’ imaginations, allowing them to take part in this speculation about the possibilities of what’s out there. The platform’s unexpected imagery and intriguing colours veers away from the typical ‘big blue’ visuals associated with traditional ocean communication.
Lumi is a fun, accessible, and engaging way to educate outside the curriculum, as it encourages its users to think deeper about ocean science, conservation, and exploration. Discover more about our project here!
