Cryptic Lineages is a multimedia project exploring speculative imaginaries through emerging AI technologies that employ living and dynamic systems. Using physical reservoir computing as a conceptual scaffold, multimedia artist Laura Splan examines the sociopolitical complexities of the use of liquid, bacteria, and plants to perform machine learning processes. The project interrogates the instrumentalization of bodies and increasingly blurred boundaries between the computational and the corporeal. This expansive body of work includes artworks, events, publications, and workshops to create sublime encounters with our shared humanity in an evolving technoscientific landscape.
