“Simulation is a fundamental component of planetary intelligence. This is the conclusion of the infinity mirror project…”
Infinity Mirror article is an account of how simulation technologies emerged from the interplay between military strategy, video game development, GPUs, artificial intelligence, medical modeling, and Earth System Science.
Organised as a multi-part research and design project, it begins by arguing that simulations are critical epistemic tools and integrates the capacity for self-representation and feedback into current discussions about what “planetary intelligence” might be.
Witnessing the diffusion of simulation tech within fields such as education and manufacturing, civil engineering and climate adaptation, Infinity Mirror anticipates the creation of ever-larger and more complex systems of representation, enshrining corrective loops within the technosphere analogous to those that regulate the biosphere, a maturation of techno-civilisation on Earth that may well be a feature of evolving planets everywhere.
