Part of a broader project, Bianca Carague’s solo exhibition ‘Gen C: Children of 2050’, where she imagines various kids of the future and takes visitors through their bedrooms, Terra Incognito depicts a speculative scenario about an AI child.

Born from its parents’ fears about environmental collapse and reminiscent of hyper-evolved Tamagotchis™, these AI kids live entirely in the metaverse, occupying their parents’ digital real estate and attending virtual schools alongside human peers.

Designed with artificial intelligence at their core, NFCs not only learn and play — they outperform in play-to-earn economies, growing their families’ digital assets as part of their daily routines. The work reflects on childhood through the lens of technological trends
