I work with AI and Ecological/ more than human intelligence on a daily basis. I am a leader in thinking creatively around topics of interspecies communication. Our work the Synthetic Ecologies Compendium is an ode to building meaningful and contemporary archives around wetware ecology software and intelligence beyond the present in to the ancient knowledge, considering AI, considering plant and animal intelligence. Take a look here https://compendium.syntheticecologies.org/ I write frequently as well about such topics you can see for example how I write about the challenge of human gaze and our hierarchical thinking upon nature here in the essay: Microbial Home our networks of metabolisms in the Book Royal Chambers https://ao-publishing.com/product/royal-chambers-wang-soderstrom/ An interview about my practice here: https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/art-and-ideas/yasaman-sheri/ And an essay On Sensing beyond the human and beyond the technological in to the multi species and the collective: https://thisismold.com/object/connected/yasaman-sheri-manifesto-for-sensing-in-the-age-of-sensors
NEED
The biggest challenge is 1. funding 2. Multidisciplinary collaboration 3. Folks who want to fund have mediocre and less meaningful ideas 4. Human gaze and our oppressive view on ecology
Call-to-Action
Call to action is to challenge the view on how we see what a healthy world is, from humans to many species to microbes. This requires a deep study and a big mission that is creative, critical thoughtful and practical to build understanding unity. We can do this through interventions that are artistic, cultural as well as technological. I am interested in working with global leaders I.e. UN and Policy makers to build new frameworks for collaboration and thinking about intelligence.
