SOFIA CRESPO × ANNA RIDLER: A Field of Collaboration, Gebunden

Klappentext

Sofia Crespo x Anna Ridler: A Field of Collaboration collects, for the first time, their five joint projects produced between 2023-2025, which won them the 2025 Arab Bank Switzerland Artist of the Year Award. An interview with the artists and four critical essays provide insight on a hybrid practice where technology functions as an evolving ecology. The authors explore how the artists bridge cutting-edge machine learning with an array of photographic practices, integrate botanical study with tactile traditions, in order to show that Crespo and Ridler move beyond the digital sublime to offer a profound attentiveness to the contemporary moment.

Anna Ridler is a London-based artist and writer building machine learning systems from hand-labelled datasets since 2017. Her practice uses classification, speculation and ecological time as material. Her work is held by the Whitney, V&A, M+ and ZKM.

Sofia Crespo is an award-winning Argentine artist whose work explores technology, biology and image-making across digital and analogue mediums. As part of Entangled Others, this extends to how living systems and artificial life interacts and evolves.
