The project was inaugurated as an Instagram exhibition, exploring how the pieces can become part of our daily digital intake of content as a means of creating awareness and potentially engagement on behalf of the species shared. Naturally, as the data available to us represents but a partial fraction of the real number of species currently estimated as known to us, the pieces in this series show animated specimens that bear some, little, or even no resemblance to the species they are meant to depict.

Sofia Crespo is an Argentine artist based in Lisbon, Portugal, whose practice explores the convergence of artificial intelligence and biological systems. Working as part of the artistic duo Entangled Others with Norwegian artist Feileacan Kirkbride McCormick, she investigates how organic life and artificial mechanisms simulate and evolve each other. Her work examines humanity's evolving relationship with technology across time, drawing connections between historical innovations like microscopes and cameras that transformed our understanding of reality, to contemporary neural networks that reshape how we process and interpret complex patterns. This technological lineage informs projects like Neural Zoo (2018-2020) and Structures of Being (2024), which position machine learning as an extension of natural processes, drawing parallels between AI image formation and biological pattern recognition. Her work has been exhibited globally at institutions including the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and Times Square, New York City. In 2022, Entangled Others' piece Swim was acquired by the Buffalo AKG Art Museum for its permanent collection. Crespo's contributions to the field have been recognized with the AI Newcomer Award by the German Informatics Society, and she frequently shares her insights through lectures at institutions like MIT and the Oxford Artificial Intelligence Society.
