Symbiotic Intelligence Lab
At Symbiotic Intelligence Lab, we explore how mycelium can perform a different form of intelligence in the age of AI — one rooted in collective assemblage, symbiosis, indeterminate movement, and emergence.

INTERFERENCE SPORES
Interference Spores is an augmented mycelium network that amplifies its internal electrical communications using its neural-like spikes in electrical activity to black out attached lights and broadcast signals on the same frequency as WIFI networks.

SIGNALS & MEAT
Live noise performance at Iklectik.
RADIUS: The one thing we can't produce is Robots. Our machines spew out bloody lumps of flesh. Formless fragments of fat and Offal. The skin won't hold to meat, or meat to the bone. R.U.R.

MACHINIC DREAMINGS OF LIMEHOUSE FORESHORE
Machinic Dreamings focus on the Limehouse Foreshore just below the towers of Canary Wharf. They bring together multiple conflicting systems: the tides of the Thames, machine learning algorithms used for high-speed trading, the growth patterns of green algae and electrical signals produced by the brain while daydreaming.
Machinic Dreamings are the research output of John Wild's year-long Art + Tech Residency at SPACE

THE MACHINIC DREAMS THE FUTURE INTO BEING
The Machine Dreams the Future into Being is an experimental short film. The film is a machine learning latent space animation created using a generative adversarial network (GAN) trained on an original data set. Animated machine learning Images are overlayed with a speculative sci-fi narrative highlighting how machine learning algorithms are instrumental in mining and ultimately altering the future through automated high-speed trading.
Selected for CRASSH ‘Breaking the Frame’ film festival 2022.
