Public Visualization Studio, Fabulous Ones, 2022, screen installation. Image courtesy of the artists.

Fabulous Ones presents creatures inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ writing conjured by Public Visualization Studio and collaborators. Three-dimensional digital masks of these creatures look back at viewers, interacting with them through motion-sensing cameras and AI-generated animations. Through processes of social and technical translation, this project combines, dramatizes, and questions concepts of description, classification, imagination, speculation, and diaspora.

* ‘Biophilia’ references a love of living things and at the heart of the exhibition are more-than-human animals and our entanglements with them.
