Globaïa

A delicate balance to respect / July 12, 2014 by Richard

This picture produced by Globaïa shows the 1.4087 billion cubic kilometers of water in the world - including oceans, ice lakes, rivers, clouds, and ground water – in relation to the 5,140 trillion tonnes of air in our atmosphere. The air has been gathered up into a perfect sphere at sea-level density. The grey Earth in the background is to scale.

Merging arts and science, Globaïa is dedicated to fostering awareness among the citizens of our blue planet.

As a photographer navigating the AI era, we are confronted with numerous fresh opportunities and, at the same time, potential challenges. The question looms: can we not only survive but also harness the full potential of these new possibilities, especially with the advent of mega digital cameras in this emerging photographic age?

Certainly, AI tools have enabled enthusiastic individuals to craft a diverse array of captivating artificial images. However, the question arises: can these creators truly be called photographers? In my view, the distinction lies in the ownership of photographs and the associated intellectual property rights. This consideration has made me considerably more discerning in terms of what and how I choose to publish my images.
