Desert View, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

Desert X is produced by The Desert Biennial, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in California, conceived to produce recurring international contemporary art exhibitions that activate desert locations through site-specific installations by acclaimed international artists. Its guiding purposes and principles include presenting public exhibitions of art that respond meaningfully to the conditions of desert locations, the environment and Indigenous communities; promoting cultural exchange and education programs that foster dialogue and understanding among cultures and communities about shared artistic, historical, and societal issues; and providing an accessible platform for artists from around the world to address ecological, cultural, spiritual, and other existential themes.

“All right, so today we are going to dive deep into some cutting-edge tech,” a chatty American male voice says.
But this voice does not belong to a human. It belongs to
Google’s new AI podcasting tool, called #Audio #Overview, which has become a surprise viral hit. 

The podcasting feature was launched in mid-September as part of NotebookLM, a year-old AI-powered research assistant.
NotebookLM, which is powered by Google’s Gemini 1.5 model, allows people to upload content such as links, videos, PDFs, and text. They can then ask the system questions about the content, and it offers short summaries. 
The tool generates a podcast called #Deep #Dive, which features a male and a female voice discussing whatever you uploaded.
The voices are breathtakingly realistic
—the episodes are laced with little "human-sounding" phrases like “Man” and “Wow” and “Oh right” and “Hold on, let me get this right.” The “hosts” even interrupt each other.

aerial photo - Landsat was found to be one of the most impactful Earth observation inputs surveyed in the EOA. Here is a Landsat image captured above an agricultural development, Canterbury, New Zealand
ALT
images / models / 3d representations - Elevation data was also found to be among the most impactful for agriculture and forestry. By processing lidar point clouds (left) data to bare earth digital elevation model (right), the vegetation is stripped away to reveal parts of landscapes that are masked by forested canopies or other features. For example, in dense forests, landslides--especially old landslides--might be invisible on aerial images and hard to detect from the ground but can be seen with the aid high resolution elevation data.
