Artist Profile
kennedy+swan
The duo kennedy+swan (founded in 2013) explores the future of non-human intelligence and its impact on plants, animals, machines, and humans. These utopias are liberated from human supremacy, illuminating the ecological benefits of hybrid life forms, and addressing the twisted relationship between humans and biotechnology. Recent works reflect upon the exponential rise of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on biology. They live in Berlin.

Mixed Signals
WALK-IN: no slot reservation necessary
How can AI, often associated with our alienation from Nature, help us listen to and communicate with non-human beings? Upon closer examination, most animals and even plants have their unique forms of communication. One, that we're only beginning to decode with modern technology.
kennedy+swan created a series of watercolors that can be scanned via app, merging the tactile with the digital. Each image is augmented with an interactive virtual scene, expanding the narrative of the paintings.
