Sofia Crespo

Why you should listen

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, Sofia Crespo is the cofounder of Entangled Others Studio. She works to understand the ways that organic life uses artificial mechanisms to simulate itself and evolve. Fascinated by the connections -- and disconnects -- between humans and technology, Crespo is particularly interested in understanding the similarities between how artificial intelligence forms images and how humans express themselves creatively. Her art combines neural network technologies with images of the natural world to make what she calls "speculative nature" -- something wholly new, illusory and beautiful.
