@epflpavilions โ Pavilion A until June 29.
In a time when artificial intelligence is increasingly applied to โdecodeโ animal communication, ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ถ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ interrogates the dominant framing of interspecies understanding as a matter of verbal translation. The film investigates how ambient technologiesโinterfaces that communicate through continuous sensory representationsโmight 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.
