Christa Sommerer& Laurent Mignonneau are two of the most renowned and innovative artists on the international media art and interactive art scene. In a natural and intuitive way, their work develops interactive interfaces that apply principles of the theory of living systems related to ecology, artificial life and the complexity science.

“Living Systems. Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau” is the first retrospective exhibition of this couple of artists. It offers us the possibility of experimenting in a participative way with their pieces that are most closely linked to the study of living systems: Eau de Jardin, Phototropy, Life Spacies II, Mobile Feelings and A-Volve. Ricard Solé, a researcher of complex systems, has collaborated on the compilation of the scientific vocabulary necessary to understand the artists’ virtual ecosystems. A series of activities and workshops make it possible to study in even greater depth the behaviour of living systems in which the beings that form them interact with one another and with the environment.
