anomalia X3m

ANOMALIA X3M is an immersive xenopoetic audiovisual installation that explores the interaction between extreme geophysical phenomena and the evolution of life in speculative scenarios.

The piece is part of the Anomalía project by Tanky and C03RA, set within the context of the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly—an area where the weakening of Earth's magnetic field allows for greater exposure to cosmic radiation. ANOMALIA X3M shifts away from an anthropocentric perspective and speculates on how this vast and still poorly understood phenomenon could influence the emergence of new species and ecosystems.

Inspired by the most extreme ecosystems and the adaptability of extremophile organisms, we compiled and curated an extensive photographic archive of hostile landscapes and lifeforms that thrive in harsh conditions. Using this corpus, we trained generative Artificial Intelligence models to identify patterns of adaptation and imagine accelerated evolutionary processes and new organisms shaped by radiation-induced mutations. AI was used as a speculative and experimental laboratory to generate representations of novel lifeforms and alternative ecosystems in which they might flourish.

The piece’s sound design employs synthesis and electromagnetic frequencies translated into sonic landscapes.ficación de la obra emplea síntesis y frecuencias electromagnéticas traducidas en paisajes sonoros.
