Next up on PAN off-shoot imprint Entopia is the latest project from multi-media artist and technological shaman Jenna Sutela.
nimiia vibié is the audio accompaniment to Sutela’s video installation work nimiia cétiï, in which she sought to document the interactions between a neural network, audio recordings of a Martian language (channelled by French medium Hélène Smith in the nineteenth century, naturally) and footage of Bacillus subtilis, a space-resistant bacterium that is commonly found in nattō, or fermented soybean. It’s a weird one, for sure.
The audio release of the project features Miako Klein on contrabass recorder, Shin-Joo Morgantini on the flute and Amnesia Scanner’s Ville Haimala on sound production duties. Machine learning for the project was developed in collaboration with Memo Akten and Damien Henry.
