U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. Jane D. Hartley met with John Mack, artist, author and founder of Life Calling, a non-profit which works to preserve our humanity in the Digital Age, on the opening morning of the London Design Biennale today, where his interactive exhibition speaks to the rising tide of AI and the replacement of nature by virtuality.

John Mack and Life Calling's exhibition entitled A Species Between Worlds: Our Nature, Our Screens, is the centrepiece of the USA Pavilion endorsed by the U.S. Embassy and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies at the month-long design event at Somerset House, the Strand, London, and contains images taken from across many US National Parks.

Visitors will be immersed in various worlds, where Mack’s real-world images from over 45 US National Parks are juxtaposed with a custom augmented reality (AR) app, showing the growing disconnect between the reality around us and the 'reality' as shown on our smartphones.

Life Calling will also be hosting a thought forum Remapping our Nature in the Digital Age at the Biennale on 13 June convening leaders across academia, arts and culture, business and technology.
