ODLA

ODLA is a visual exploration of obsolescence and growth in humanity’s endless pursuit of abundance on earth. The term "Odla" is a Swedish word that translates to grow, cultivate, or plant. The series utilizes AI, not to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology, but to observe its impact on our society over a short period of time. Dependence on the things we create simultaneously hinders and accelerates progress. Technology provides humanity with an opportunity to cultivate life and connection, but it can also become a conduit for destruction. As humans, we’re rediscovering what purpose means in a world full of automation and isolation. The Word of God ensamples what fulfillment truly is when we're in service of others. Our inventions promise ease but at what cost do we forfeit our design for obsolescent growth.
