Symbiocentric AI

In the face of today’s global crises, the question is no longer if transformation is needed, but how. And what role could Artificial Intelligence play in this shift?

Today’s AI evolves mainly within Western, profit-driven logics — raising deeper questions. What if intelligence were not mainly thought as logical and human-centered, but shared, connected, and alive?

SYMBIOCENTRIC AI is an audiovisual and multisensory installation set in nature that reimagines intelligence in a world that may no longer be defined solely by the human perspective. Set in parks, forests, or botanical gardens, the installation unfolds as a poetic narrative path through interactive mirror sculptures.

These mirrors are more than reflections: they respond to breath, movement, wind, temperature, and humidity, while also visualizing scientific data on climate and biodiversity through poetic, animated interpretations.

Together, these inputs shape evolving narratives, soundscapes and visuals in real time. Visitors are guided by a spatial audio story, experiencing intelligence as a living dialogue between:

• Humans – as sensing, breathing beings
• The more-than-human world – local ecosystems, animals, and planetary rhythms
• Artificial Intelligence – imagined as a co-evolving presence that listens, remembers, and responds

Each encounter subtly changes the system, creating a living metabolism between people, data, technology, and nature.

The journey culminates in a shared moment of reflection: What new perspectives appear when intelligence is no longer just about logic — but about relating, resonating, and co-creating with the world around us?
