- Various works by Katie Paterson such as Vatnajökull (the sound of)
or Fossil Necklace - The Future Library
- A pollution machine created by the Future Energy Lab for the UAE government to viscerally convey what air quality would be like in 2034 without intervention

Relatedly but not an answer to the question: I am currently working on a survey of AI researchers on AI sentience/subjective experience with Jeff Sebo, Lucius Caviola, Joshua Lewis, Kate Mays, and David Chalmers. I also know that the Mind, Ethics, and Policy Program at NYU has relevant ongoing projects.
