Interspecifics

  • Interspecifics are a nomadic, multi-national collective experimenting with generative audio-visual projects at the intersection between visual art and science. They’re based in Mexico City, but they maintain ongoing collaborations with scientists and researchers in Europe and across Latin America. They seek out and nurture a hybridized practice, blending different disciplines and often involving the analysis and simulation of living organisms; open knowledge and the development and distribution of digital tools; and critical social issues as points of inquiry. Their research also involves the use of sound to understand the bioelectrical activity of different bacterial consortiums, plants, slime molds, and humans, by using machine learning and custom hardware the collective calls “ontological machines”.
