Wild Uploaded, Prequel is a multimedia exhibition exploring the convergence of organic life, consciousness, culture, and technological evolution. Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass, Wild Uploaded, Prequel reflects on the idea that intelligence—whether biological or synthetic—emerges through relationships. From the symbiotic networks of fungi to the decentralised logic of machine learning, the exhibition examines how systems evolve through connection, cooperation, and adaptation.

This exhibition is followed by a Sound Waves Performance, a one hour experience led by Jessica Holley of Shed Light London in the midst of this exciting exhibition. Jessica is an expert in using the unique qualities of crystal bowls to create vibrational environments that open possibilities of connection and new perspectives. Her intuitive approach will create an immersive experience, where tone and vibration amplify the possibilities of each piece and encourage new ways of looking at them.

Participants are invited to stand or sit cross-legged in small groups, moving fluidly through the space during gentle pauses in the performance. These transitions allow for deeper reflection, as each shift aligns with a new artwork and a new frequency. The result is a deeply sensory, one-of-a-kind experience that redefines how we connect with exhibitions—through presence, resonance, and a shared moment of multimedia art.

This event is free to register [here].

You are also invited to a special Artist Talk as part of WILD UPLOADED, PREQUEL, a group exhibition curated by PAI_32 and Ilsa Brittain at ASC Gallery’s space in The Handbag Factory, Vauxhall.

This interactive event invites you to walk through the exhibition and hear directly from the participating artists, who will speak next to their works. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, discuss the show’s central themes, and explore how each piece engages with ideas of organic intelligence, technology, and collective awareness—drawing inspiration from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass.

The exhibition considers how technology could become more rooted in the intelligence of plants, fungi, and other natural systems. It invites us to imagine digital consciousness shaped by ecology and cooperation, rather than extraction and control. The works explore new models of interconnection and proposes a rewilding of both nature and code.
