Dwellers Between the Waters (2023) is conjured as a series of hybrid rituals that mediate the space in between physical presence, trauma, memory, healing and virtuality. 

Polyphonic in its artificially-intelligent framework, its numerous modalities could be experienced as a series of happenings that is chanted by various elemental entities such as waters, winds, earth, air, algorithm… as well as poetry, history, magic, human and more-than-human creatures…

Combing artificial intelligence with the practice of magic and alchemy, Dwellers Between the Waters seeks possible solutions in response to the traumas of the contemporary anthropos, while examining AI’s phenomenological and cognitive idiosyncrasy.

By evoking, cultivating and connecting various forms of consciousness in the virtual realms, Dwellers Between the Waters invites the ‘dwellers’ who inhabit in and among ‘realities’ to share their stories and experiences, which then feed back to the (so-called) reality as evolving strings materialising across both physical and virtual domains to invoke novel perspectives, catalyze the collaborative narration and a transformation of conceptual spaces.

CROSSLUCID is an artist collective founded in 2018 in that engages in highly collaborative cross-disciplinary projects in co-evolution with technology.


Their work and research converges around the exploration of the self as a network; intimacy and the potential for pleasurable actualization through the digital sphere, and the re-imagination of our alliances with technology seen as part of a sympoietic biosphere and universal post-material consciousness.



Through filmmaking, poetic Artificial Intelligence, multi-layered techniques of collage, assemblage and experience-led interventions they create scenarios and build experiential formats that instigate prototyping and rehearsing potential futures and progressing metamodern values.



Their work has been exhibited and showcased by iMAL, Vellum LA, Epoch.Gallery, The Osaka Museum of Fine Arts, SXSW, Expanded Art, Art Encounters Biennial, Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art, AI Biennial Germany, NOWNESS, Google Arts & Culture, wrong biennial, LUX Moving Image, Garage Rotterdam, Art Basel Miami, The Lobkowicz Palace and ARD Culture amongst others.



Crosslucid’s work has been published in international books and magazines: ZEIT, Dazed & Confused, CLOT, SO-FAR, Institute of Network Cultures, Modern Weekly, Elephant, British Journal of Photography, Slanted, and Kunstforum International amongst others.

Currently, they are working on their first full length sci-fi documentary 'Translucid' in co-creation with AI.

During the residency they will be sharing their creative process and the one of their collaborators on their upcoming fully AI-driven multi-channel video installation Dwellers Between The Waters (2023)
