PROJECT TITLE:
Thirsty Robots is a series of playful interventions that explore our growing reliance on Artificial Intelligence and the hidden environmental cost behind it — specifically, AI’s water usage.
Thirsty Robots comprises a series of three interactive websites, each offering a distinct visual and conceptual approach, accompanied by a fourth, archival site presenting them all-together:
Simple chatbot interface – inspired by ChatGPT – but with a water bottle tracker.
More immersive interface, drawn in Procreate and animated with JavaScript.
A water-draining game – click as quick as you can! Accompanied by facts about AI’s environmental impact.
