“BioMedia: The Age of Media with Life-like Behavior” opens at ZKM Karlsruhe, exploring synthesis, emergence, and biophilia. Over 60 artists including Refik Anadol, Anna Dumitriu, Libby Heaney, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Harm van den Dorpel, and Haru Ji & Graham Wakefield (image: Artificial Nature, 2007-) present artificial agents in hybrid ecosystems that demonstrate interdependency. “The sympoetic community of the future will welcome artificial beings […] as a responsibility to life itself.”
