In a time when artificial intelligence is increasingly applied to โ€œdecodeโ€ animal communication, ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜“๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ interrogates the dominant framing of interspecies understanding as a matter of verbal translation. The film investigates how ambient technologiesโ€”interfaces that communicate through continuous sensory representationsโ€”might open up alternative ways to conduct research on more-than-human minds. The narration follows a team of scientists trying to map the collective cognitive landscape of eight lab-born fruit bats. As the study unfolds, the scientists find themselves navigating an emergent cognitive field where agency is diffused, and distinctions between human, bat, and machine intelligence begin to dissolve.
