As part of an artistic and scientific research residency on Sorbier Island, Belgium. The Deanima collective, invited to take part in a week-long residency, proposes to establish a research protocol to explore and interpret the multiple languages of flora and fauna through a series of advanced sensors and observation techniques.

In the heart of the forest, in the trees, on the ground and in the stream, after defining a sensitive cartography of the site, sophisticated devices will be deployed: magnetic field sensors to detect the earth's subtle magnetic variations and their influence on animal behavior, olfactory sensors to capture the spectrum of odors emitted by flora and fauna, as well as pheromones, hygrometers and chemical sensors to measure humidity, soil composition, cameras and microphones to record forest life visually and acoustically, from birdsong to the subtle movements of small creatures, and bioelectric exchange sensors to understand electrical communication between plants and perhaps even within the forest floor. The aim is to collect comprehensive data on interspecific interactions and communications, forming a basis of understanding for an interspecies language - sketching out the foundations of a kind of artistic and scientific dictionary of living things.

These data will be interpreted to create an intellectual, artistic and sensitive language. In collaboration with several AIs, visual, sound, sculptural and written installations will emerge, enabling humans to understand and feel the subtleties of non-human communication.

In a second phase, the project envisages the creation of “e.cosystèmes” or interactive ecosystems in the form of “beneficial totems”. These structures, such as copper pyramids or submerged totems, will aim to enrich the island ecosystem by interacting positively with its biodiversity. These innovations will be designed to create beneficial electromagnetic fields, attract wildlife through specific visual and olfactory stimuli, and blend harmoniously into the environment.

These e.cosystems will be studied throughout the year to observe the evolution of life in contact with them. The culmination of this research will take the form of a global art installation, bringing together all the “e.cosystem totems”, bearing witness to the possibility of harmonious and enriching collaboration between species, where fauna, flora, humans and artificial intelligence coexist and co-create.

The art installation will serve as a living testimony to the experience, and will be designed to engage the public in deep reflection on our relationship with nature and the potential for harmonious coexistence.

This initiative will be a first step in creating an enriched dialogue between species, using art and science to decipher and celebrate the complexity of living things, and paving the way for new forms of collaboration between man, nature and technology.
