Réseaux-Mondes
Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto, founders of architecture and design innovation firm ecoLogicStudio www.ecologicstudio.com are presenting their latest project GAN-Physarum: la dérive numérique within the exhibition “Réseaux-Mondes” (Worlds of Networks) that will be held at the Centre Pompidou in Paris (France) from February 23rd to April 25th, 2022.
For this project ecoLogicStudio and their team have trained a machine learning algorithm to behave like a living Slime Mould and they have asked it to depict the future of a bio-digital autonomous Paris.
Commissioned by the Centre Pompidou in 2020, “GAN-Physarum: la dérive numérique” is composed of an AI video and a bio-painting. The new project is exhibited together with a second video “DeepGreen: Urbansphere” showing the application of the GAN-Physarum algorithm to a set of projects initiated in 2019 by the studio with UNDP (United Nations Development Programme).
Both pieces are part of “Mutations / Créations” series curated by Marie-Ange Brayer and Olivier Zeitoun and questions the place of the network in our societies, its pervasiveness as well as its dematerialization. The network is at the heart of technological change and several societal issues: surveillance, atomization of the individual, actor-network and the emergence of the global UrbanSphere.
“Against this backdrop, we are witnessing the unfolding of a post-natural history, a time when the impact of artificial systems on the natural Biosphere is indeed global, but their agency is no longer entirely human. Cities like Paris, have become co-evolving networks of biological and digital intelligence, semi-autonomous synthetic organisms”— affirms Claudia Pasquero, ecoLogicStudio co-founder; UIBK and UCL professor of biodigital architecture.
