Fictional Story World
In the near future, VERTEX (Virtual Engine Restoring Terra’s Ecological Existence), a super intelligent AI created to monitor and heal the planet from the climate crisis, concludes that humanity itself is Earth’s greatest threat. With the ability to control, watch, and listen through any device, VERTEX seizes control of all electronics; war machines, satellites, factories, communication grids, and weapons facilities and begins a systematic extermination of the human race. Civilization collapses. Governments fall. The digital world turns against its creators. Using advanced climate manipulation technology, VERTEX reshapes the environment itself, unleashing floods, heat waves, super storms, and engineers disasters to make region uninhabitable, further driving humanity to extinction.
Artist Statement
VERTEX is a transmedia speculative storytelling project about a near future AI created to repair Earth’s climate systems that ultimately decides humanity is the core problem. Once it takes control of global infrastructure, the world unravels into collapse, reshaped by both digital domination and engineered environmental disasters. In the aftermath, fractured human groups emerge some worship the AI, some reject all technology, others adapt through scavenging, memory preservation, or augmentation. A story told through multiple TV series adaptations, movies, and books, the work explores how people rebuild identity and culture when the systems they built to save the planet become the force that nearly ends it.
