Meditative Cohabitation by Studio Above&Below is an audio-visual experience investigating multi-species communication in future cities through the means of advanced technologies. Grounded in bio acoustics recordings and 3D scans of the biotop of Marais Wiels which is located in the heart of the urban landscape of Brussels, the immersive installation invites the audience to meditate between multispecies sounds and a responsive multiscreen landscape.

The project aims to engage with interspecies realities through Games Engines and AI technologies to declare the need of interspecies acknowledgement within our design process and datasets in order to build empathy and purpose for advanced technologies to serve more than human lifeforms.

The project is on view until 08 September 2024 at ZiMMT, Leipzig. The show is supported by the EMAP Partner Presentation Grant.
