Symbionts 2.0

Symbionts 2.0 is a new version of a project by artist and ceramicist Csilla Nagy and musician, musicologist and sound artist Slavo Krekovic originally created in 2021. The concept of Symbionts began as a speculative reflection on the future of life on the planet. Formally, the objects are inspired by the study of marine fungi of the Porifera species representing an ancient blind evolutionary branch. The project aims to explore the interrelationships between humans, the environment, nature and technology through the creation of hybrid environments in which the boundaries between nature and technology, human and non-human (or post-human) actors are blurred. For their exhibition at the House of Arts, Slavo and Csilla created a site-specific environment. It consists of sonic interactive ceramic objects which are data-connected and thus capable of communication based on the reception of conditions in the surrounding environment. Symbionts algorithmically transform sounds from a shared and freely available web database. The ceramic objects have varying metallic glazes that reflect the surrounding environment mirroring their interaction component.
