In the midst of the Mayan Jungle in Mexico, French artist Antoine Bertin is set to develop an AI-integrated installation The Bat Cloud that serves as a bat habitat and a public listening space for exploring bat language through artificial intelligence. The installation was the winning submission to an open-call from AZULIK and interdisciplinary arts center SFER IK, that prompted artists to create art exploring biodiversity, ancestral knowledge, and nature through the use of artificial intelligence. SFER IK Museion, announced Bertin as the recipient of the inaugural SFER IK artist award during Miami Art Week. As winner of the open-call, Bertin will be awarded $100,000 and a two-month residency at AZULIK’s campus in Uh May.
