John Wild will share two new projects at ReWilding AI : Weather Spores.
ReWilding AI represents the culmination of research projects exploring the radical mattering of narrative ecologies via immersive and distributed intelligence.
Friday 28 March: Day 2 – Weather Spores
Travel through a multi-dimensional maze of immersive portals, shapeshifting across knowledge systems and new materials, encountering AI through the roll of the dice.

Artists:
Jonathan Boyd (Head of programme Applied Art and Reader in Jewellery) specialises in conceptual and narrative-led works, currently exploring the emergent logics of (an) asemic materialism in the mire of AI.
Johnny Golding (Professor of Philosophy & Fine Art, Head of the Proto-centre for Radical Matter) re-thinks contemporary storytelling via an emergent analytic of experimental poetics, free jazz and the radical encounters of art, philosophy, and wild science.
Matt Lewis (Senior Tutor, Sound Pathway Lead) is a sound artist and musician focussing on the relationship between sound and the social.
Manu Luksch researches the interdependencies between information technologies, daily life, urban space, social and political structures and the material world through film and process-based artwork.
Mukul Patel’s intermedia practice spans writing, installation and composition; at the RCA he interrogates conceptions of AI through the prisms of mathematics, language and conceptual practice.
Tom Simmons (Programme Head, Digital Direction) specialises in critical sound practice in intercultural and distributed communication, including in relation to communities, knowledge systems and digital storytelling.
Shira Wachsmann, artist and co-founder of Orbital Bloom, works primarily in the field of digital art and moving images, with an emphasis on narrative ecologies—sensuous forms of multi-threaded, non-linear, collective, and digital storytelling.
John Wild works across performance, sound, text, code, electronics and machine learning to research the futures immanent within digital technology.

radical ⇌ matter
When Materialism is no Longer Enough offers a rigorous, playful, interdisciplinary approach to our contemporary real. Set against the hyperpolished atmospheres of robotically automated knowledge systems (RAS), generative and distributive intelligences, and wildly proliferating deep-fake narratives, this exhibition invites you to experience the infinite world of folds, psychedelic/neural sensory camouflaging, machinic aliveness and synthetic encounters – all part and parcel of our 21st century forms of agency, ethics, collective responsibility and new imaginaries.EXHIBITION

A sonic drift through the matter and energies that flow between nature and society, following the vibrational continuum and interconnectedness of the Noosphere, Biosphere, and Geosphere.
This event brings together sound artists moving between the vibrations of inorganic matter, mycorrhizal networks and inaudible edges of AI infrastructures. Work will include multi-species meditation, audio-visual performance, dance and AI server field recordings.
