Hypereikon, a collaborative project by María Constanza Lobos and Sebastián Rojas, explores the porous boundaries between organic systems and digital infrastructures. The artists approach technology not as a neutral tool, but as a complex ecology that both extends and challenges human cognition and creativity. Their work manifests as immersive audiovisual experiences that make visible the hidden currents of data flowing through our hyperconnected world. Drawing inspiration from the biodiversity and sociopolitical complexities of their Latin American context, they create generative environments where algorithmic processes and organic forms merge. These digital ecosystems function as speculative models, allowing us to examine the intertwining of human and non-human agencies in shaping our collective future.
A central element of Hypereikon's practice is the critical engagement with artificial intelligence, which they conceive not as a mere simulation of human creativity, but as a collaborator capable of revealing unforeseen dimensions of perception and expression. By navigating the latent spaces of machine learning models, the artists excavate and recontextualize the residual data of our digital existence, transforming them into raw material for artistic investigation. Their performances and installations function as living laboratories, where real-time interactions between artist, audience, and algorithm generate emergent audiovisual compositions. Through this work, Hypereikon invites viewers to question established narratives of progress and imagine alternative trajectories for our technologically mediated world.
