Bio
Audrey Rangel Aguirre is an Interdisciplinary Mexican artist based in England, researching at the intersection of art and science, focusing on artistic intuition to create new systems that belong to the future of human civilization. Currently developing the research project Terras Lux, focusing on the relation between energy on microbial microecosystems on soil and the energy on human body.
The core and intellectual structure of her project Terras Lux is energy as electricity produced by microbial ecosystems on soil related with the energy of the human body, she presents soil as a natural source of renewable energy that will be the future technology on future systems for human civilization.
Currently she is creating a body of work that has been developed as the outcome of an ongoing collaboration with the artist and astrobiologist Marta Filipa Simões, exploring her current scientific research on metal nanoparticles and the emergent field of astromycology. The collaboration has originated exciting and interesting projects as the creation of speculative materials developed with fungal resources, as well as photographic documentation, texts, experiments, digital images and has bridged the artist’s current project Terras Lux with notions of astrobiology, situating the project into a vision that connects the microscopic dimension of microorganisms on earth with the macrocosm, the vast universe and space.
Audrey uses creative intuition as a tool to create speculative scenarios that may be a possibility for our nearest future as a society and she entangles it with diverse branches of science of which biology is the current field of research.
