 Sofia Crespo - Artificial Lifeby MTF Labs | MTF Podcasthttps://musictechfest.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/podcast/116-sofia-crespo.mp3Sofia Crespo is a Berlin-based visual artist who uses artificial intelligence to create speculative living organisms that exist in the gap between real biological species and our perception and understanding of what ‘life' is. Her work is collaborative and connects with scientists, other visual artists, AI experts, musicians and sound designers. She is interested not just in how technologies can create biological forms, but also how organic life can create and use technologies. @soficrespo91 on Twittersofiacrespo.comDownload episode← Previous episodeNext episode →TranscriptDubber Hi, I’m Andrew Dubber. I’m Director of MTF Labs, and this is the MTF Podcast. Now, if you find yourself on Instagram and you’re looking for something other than the children, pets, and meals of friends and family, the privileged lives of the famous, the heavily filtered images of people who are good at wearing clothes, or – if you’re like me – vintage hi-fi gear, then you might find yourself looking at generative visual art. And as you scroll through the abstract designs, hypnotic pulses, and seizure-inducing strobes, you might see something that looks almost, but not quite, like a cross-breed between a penguin and a fluorescent blue slug, or an anatomically unlikely cicada, a fractal parrot, a melty squid, or a patchwork butterfly. If so, then chances are you’ve found the art of Berlin-based AI artist Sofia Crespo.With the help of machine intelligence, Sofia creates artificial life. She joined us to do that at MTF Aveiro in Portugal last year, and she’s started collaborations with other MTFers, not so much to play god, but – to mangle the theology of the metaphor – maybe to act as one of his elves in the living organism toy workshop. Okay, this all breaks down a little bit, but you get the idea. She uses thinking computers to make what you might call speculative creatures, and then she brings them to life.Dubber Sofia Crespo, thanks so much for joining us for the MTF Podcast. I was going to say “How are you doing?”, but you’re not doing very well.Sofia Yeah, I’m not. I’m a bit ill right now, but, nevertheless, thank you so much for having me here.Dubber You’re welcome. And you’re a hospital escapee.Sofia Yeah.Dubber You have to tell that story.Sofia I left the hospital yesterday. I got very anxious after being there for eight hours, waiting, and alone in a room in isolation. I feel terrible for their hospital staff, though. And the police came looking for me, and it was a first. First time running away from hospital for me.Dubber It’s good that you can laugh about it and that, I know you say you’re unwell, but you tested negative for COVID. You have a bit of a fever, but you’re not bleeding to death or anything like that.Sofia No, but I’m worried that I might have tuberculosis.Dubber Oh, really? Oh my god.Sofia Yeah. So that’s something that is also a first. I have all the symptoms, but I haven’t been tested for it.Dubber Wow. And that’s why they were quite keen for you to stay in the hospital.Sofia Yeah. Well, mainly because of COVID because they were worried that I have COVID. But I was in the ER station, so they don’t do TB tests there. They were just worried about something very acute. But, yeah, it’s strange. The only things I know about tuberculosis are that it’s a very old disease that used to kill a lot of people back in the day before there was a cure.Dubber Sure, yeah. The only thing I know about it is that you’re meant to take it seriously. You seem fine, but I’m not a doctor.Sofia Yeah. That’s why I went to the ER in the first place. But it’s a strange time to have that because obviously COVID is the main priority right now as a health emergency.Dubber Wow. Well, I really hope you’re okay. It puts a slightly different slant on the whole interview.Sofia Oh my god.Dubber But let’s assume you’re okay and start with what you do is you make artificial life.Sofia I do.Dubber Which is to say you’re an artist that uses AI to create living creatures. What does that mean? What does that look like?Sofia Yeah. Well, in a way, it depends. There are many things to unpack, like how do we perceive life, what do we see as life, and where does life even begin for us? So what I do is just things that simulate, on a very high level, so to say, what life looks like to us when digitised. So I’m exploring that threshold of where human perception sees something that looks alive and how all those patterns are recognised by our brains. So that’s...
