LabMUTEK MexicoOctober 2024
As part of 20th anniversary of MUTEK Mexico in October 15-16, 2024, the Wilding AI Lab hosted a two-day public experiment bringing together artists and researchers to explore speculative sonic AI futures. The lab combined inspirational talks and skill-sharing workshops led by Maurice Jones, Alexandre Saunier, Sahar Homami, Debashis Sinha, and Daniela Huerta (baby vulture). Building on the project’s debut at MUTEK Forum in August 2024, the lab extended Wilding AI’s research-creation process, offering artists a hands-on space to prototype speculative audio systems.

If sound were alive, how would it behave? Through experiments using Max/MSP and multi-agent systems, the lab tested how individual sonic agents could evolve behaviors with LLMs, and how collective agents might interact spatially. Key questions focused on defining the expressive parameters of AI-generated sound, such as motion, delay, harmony, distortion, and the role of storytelling as a medium between human intent and machine behavior. Framed as a critical response to dominant AI paradigms, the Wilding AI Lab at MUTEK Mexico invited local and international participants to join the discussions, learn about the application of generative AI in spatial audio, and collectively explore the wilder territories of AI.
