How to Find the Soul of a Sailor<\/em> is a deeply personal and innovative project by Polish-British artist Kasia Molga<\/strong> that fuses past, present and future through the lens of artificial intelligence and memory. Centring on the Mediterranean sea, she envisages through the eyes of her late father, Tadeusz Molga, who was a devoted sailor and meticulously documented his passion for the ocean, which he shared with young Kasia as she accompanied him on his ship. Following his death fifteen years ago, Molga has addressed her profound sense of loss through his collection of diaries and remnants of his voice, creating an personal journey highlighting the fragility of our oceans, the ever-changing work conditions of sailors, speculating on the future and what her father would say.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has used The New Real*\u2019s specialised experiential AI platform, The New Real Observatory, to reimagine her father\u2019s words, projecting them 50 years into the future in a powerful fusion of memory and technology, by blending generative AI tools with climate data to create an emotionally-charged narrative, visualising the past and future of our oceans, and combining English and Polish in a bilingual experience combining digital technology with personal history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
