Meditative Cohabitation

“Meditative Cohabitation” is an audio-visual experience investigating multispecies communication in future cities through the means of advanced technologies. Grounded in bioacoustics recordings and 3D scans of the Marais Wiels biotope, which is located in the heart of the urban landscape of Brussels, the immersive installation invites the audience to meditate between multispecies sounds and a responsive multiscreen landscape.

The project aims to engage with interspecies realities through game engines and AI technologies to declare the need for interspecies acknowledgment within our design process and datasets in order to build empathy and purpose for advanced technologies to serve more than human life forms.
