Cesar & Lois is a collective that probes the evolution of humanity’s relationship to nature by advancing intersections between the parallel networks of technology, biological and societal systems. Cesar & Lois consists of Brazilian media artist Cesar Baio and California-based media artist Lucy HG Solomon, often in conversation and collaboration with other artists, scientists and researchers. Formed in summer of 2017, Cesar & Lois has launched a number of projects that reorient technology and society to nature. The duo is currently working with the fungal colonization of human knowledge systems through the merging of fungal networks and Internet-based communications.
Winner of the 2018 Lumen Prize in Artificial Intelligence and 2019 selection for the Global Digital Art Prize Biennial in Singapore, Edital CoMciência in Brazil, and 2020 selection for the Aesthetica Prize shortlist, the iterative project Degenerative Cultures inserts a microbiological logic into A.I. and challenges the socio-technological division between humanity and nature.
