This month’s 2025 edition of Mutek is in full swing. We particularly enjoyed London-based Harry Yeff’s talk on his research regarding creative applications for A.I. and machine learning. He focuses on performance, vocal experiments, and digital installations. He seamlessly gets in there between the human voice and technology, challenging conventional boundaries and promoting human-machine collaboration.
And mad respect for Kalmyk-American poet and language artist Sasha Styles whose award-winning work “bridges tradition and innovation through hybrid poetics, generative imagination, and collaborative intelligence. Her transmedia practice reframes poetry as both art and technology — a means of encoding experience across time — and blends word, image and algorithm to explore human voice in a digital age.”

And it is worth mentioning Phoebe Greenberg’s immersive project Blur, a mixed-reality theatre experience that explores this liminal state between life and death, fact and fiction. Greenberg teamed up with famed contemporary dance choreographer Edouard Lock. We only saw glimpses of it as it will premiere at La Biennale di Venezia next week.
And last but not least: props to Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer who gave a brilliant talk on his body of work.
