Digital Dialogues | From nature to networks: Algorithmic ecosystems
Art Basel in Basel, June 21 2025
Sofia Crespo and Feileacan Kirkbride McCormick, artists, Entangled Others, Lisbon
Linda Douniea, artist and designer, Dakar, Senegal
Moderator: Dr. Jeni Fulton, Head of Editorial, Art Basel, Basel
This panel explores the fascinating intersection of computational systems and the natural world, with a special focus on how artists are using algorithms to reimagine biological forms and ecological relationships. A new generation of artists is creating a ‘synthetic natural history’ through machine learning, training neural networks on datasets of natural specimens to create entirely new lifeforms that feel strangely familiar yet otherworldly. What questions can be asked here about evolution, the imaginary, and other intelligences? This panel will explore what it means to create parallel evolutionary paths.
