Artist Biography
Sofia Crespo is an artist working with a huge interest in biology-inspired technologies. One of her main focuses is the way organic life uses artificial mechanisms to simulate itself and evolve, this implying the idea that technologies are a biased product of the organic life that created them and not a completely separated object. Crespo looks at the similarities between techniques of AI image formation, and the way that humans express themselves creatively and cognitively recognize their world.
​
Her work brings into question the potential of AI in artistic practice and its ability to reshape our understandings of creativity. On the side, she is also hugely concerned with the dynamic change in the role of the artists working with machine learning techniques. She currently works as part of the artistic duo Entangled Others.
“Why are people interested in Nature? This fascination seems to extend as far back as the cave paintings, but likely far further back in time, however our records are limited to what we’ve uncovered. Within the arts in general, not just the digital arts, we very often see the more-than-human as a subject, perhaps even more so than the digital. I think, no matter the state of our current (especially urban) world, we still exist in the context of sharing this planet with a nearly unfathomable number of other species, and those of us who find a particular interest in these others naturally gravitate towards them in our work.“
