Artificial trees that look natural, harvest water from air, and care for young plants in some of the harshest climates on Earth. Ali ilA Lab designs living technologies for streets, oases and human consciousness.
Machines disguised as trees. Each unit pulls moisture from the air, creates shade and delivers precisely the right amount of water and nutrients to the plants growing around it.
High-efficiency atmospheric condensers transform humid air into clean irrigation water inside a visible base reservoir.
Soil and climate sensors constantly feed data to an AI controller that decides when and how much to water or fertilize.
Tall crowns lower ground temperature, reduce evaporation and can be combined with misting and air filtration modules.
Climate change is pushing dry regions to the limit. Water is scarce, plants struggle to survive, and concrete dominates public space. We believe the next generation of infrastructure must behave more like a living ecosystem – sensing, adapting and caring for the life around it.
Every concept is imagined for existing cities such as Dubai: realistic heights, materials and maintenance paths – ready to be prototyped with the right partners.
Both trees are fully artificial and AI-powered – yet intentionally designed to look naturally at home in desert skylines.
A sleek metallic column that acts as an AI-controlled irrigation hub for urban boulevards and promenades.
A lifelike artificial palm that hides a full water-from-air and fertigation system in its trunk and base.
Beyond hardware for water and shade, Ali ilA Lab explores how humans, plants and machines might share information in subtler ways. The Consciousness Interface Tree connects a living plant, a sensing device and a group of meditators, visualizing their interaction as light and data.
It is not a product – it is a research-art installation, asking whether technology can help us listen to the field of consciousness that is always present.
Sensors capture micro-changes in the plant and environment while participants meditate. An AI system translates these signals into glowing patterns around a central tree – a poetic interface between inner and outer worlds.
Ali ilA Lab is led by an independent creator with more than 30 years of experience in art, antiques, electronics and storytelling. From fruit incubator trees to AI Water Producing Trees and bio-consciousness devices, each concept is part of one question:
“How can we use technology not only to sell more, but to keep life alive in the hottest places on Earth?”
The concepts are ready – from metallic Eco-Spires to Oasis Palm Systems and consciousness trees. To turn them into full-scale prototypes, we are looking for cities, developers, engineers and investors who want to experiment with new forms of living infrastructure.
