Underwater: In this participatory installation, visitors explore issues related to climate change from the perspective of water.

WATER WHISPERER is an immersive, participatory AI installation by OpenFields in which visitors engage with topics such as climate change, water management, and the future of cities from the perspective of water itself. In the process, their perspective shifts from a human-constructed notion of nature to an understanding in which humans are part of an interconnected water cycle and a shared ecology.

The VIENNA DESIGN WEEK is presenting this project as part of DONAURAUM, a group of projects that explore the river that defines Vienna.
