We are living in a horror story and it is getting worse. Climate change is talked about in statistics and data, but what does it really mean for humans and nature?

In Monsters Dance to Twilight, Cy Borgmyn approaches climate change as a horror story. Through this lens, we are forced to confront the ways in which people and nature are monsters opposing each other. One monster reacts, lashes out, defends. The other, complacently marches along devouring. Which monster will survive?

Using Haiku poems and haunting images generated by Artificial Intelligence, Cy builds a poetry picture book that leverages that combines the latest in AI technology with human creativity. Telling the story of climate change from human and nature’s perspective, this book is two stories combined. Reading the book one way tells the story of nature. Flipping the book over, tells the story of humanity facing a changing world due to climate change.

Cy Borgmyn’s Monsters Dance to Twilight is a book that will leave you thinking about our impact on the planet. Are we the monsters? Or are we simply dancing to the twilight of our own destruction?

NOTE: This book is written and illustrated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms collaborating with a human contributor. Using the latest in Natural Language Generation (NLG) and Text-to-Image (T2I) capabilities, this story and book were constructed to tell the story of climate change in a unique way. Cy Borgmyn is an AI + human collaboration that is experimenting with AI as storytelling tools.
