An artistic group whose members share an interest in field recordings, bioacoustics, and sound ecology. Their research combines auditory perception with ecological and social issues, developed through scientific discourse and original sonic representations of environments. In their works, recordings from immediate surroundings are transformed into speculative projections of the future and attentive perceptions of the present.

An artist whose work explores the biological, (geo)political and cultural realities of aquatic environments and the impact of humanity on other organisms. Her projects call for the development of empathetic strategies aimed at recognising other, non-human species.

Her works received awards and nominations at Prix Ars Electronica, STARTS Prize, and Falling Walls.
