“A bird calls, a fish surfaces, a dandelion sheds its seeds in a gust of air. However, when events stretch out across hours, days and more, we no longer readily perceive, but rely on the labelling of such events as abstract groupings we “know” to be, yet have no visible delineation.”
– Entangled Others

Entangled Others is the shared studio practice of artists Feileacan McCormick and Sofia Crespo. Their work focuses on ecology, artificial lifeforms and generative arts, with an emphasis on giving the more-than-human new forms a presence and life in digital space. Working together with Robert M. Thomas – composer, sound designer, and programmer – the trio seek to create a world where humanity, technology, and inter-connectedness are nurtured and engaged with.

Their artwork ‘Decohering Delineation’ exhibited at our Realtime exhibition, showcases the entanglement of neural networks and oceanic data as an experimental exploration to show the innate interconnected nature of ecosystems and specimens, artificial and natural. The work explores the limits of our perception in interaction with more-than-human contexts and presents alternative ways of seeing our world, reimagining ourselves as part of the more-than-human.

‘Decohering Delineation’ entices the senses to attune to unseen elements that we are tightly interwoven with, entangled with. Entanglement is a state where no single entity can be said to be separate or somehow unaffected by any other present entity. It is based on the belief that we cannot consider ourselves without others, act without interacting, or speak without being heard.

Entangled Others challenges the perception of technology as a separate entity from organic life and opens new, crucial ways of reimagining ourselves as part of the more-than-human.

— Entangled Others is the shared studio practice of artists Feileacan McCormick and Sofia Crespo. Their work focuses on ecology, artificial lifeforms and generative arts, with an emphasis on giving the more-than-human new forms a presence and life in digital space. This involves exploring questions of relationship, biodiversity, and awareness through biology-inspired techn ologies. They highlight how through conscious efforts, new technology can be used to bring attention and awareness to the unseen that we are tightly interwoven with. Entanglement is a complex state, one where no single entity can be said to be separate. We cannot consider ourselves without others, act without interacting, speak without being heard.

— Robert M. Thomas is a pioneering composer, sound designer and audio programmer. He explores new ways of experiencing music and sound. Unlike fixed recordings, his music can intelligently adapt & personalise itself in real time through the bespoke software he creates.His work has been performed at the Barbican London, Walt Disney Concert Hall LA, Lincoln Centre NYC, and exhibited at the Tate. His many collaborators include ambient pioneer Brian Eno, trip-hop innovators Massive Attack, film composer Hans Zimmer, singer-songwriter Imogen Heap, sound designer Ben Burtt, and the trailblazing London Contemporary Orchestra.
