Long live the resistance of people
Long live the uprising of the colonized
Long live the defiance of the occupied
Long live the fight against empire
Long live the liberation of the oppressed
Long live the revolt against tyranny
Long live the power of the dispossessed
Long live the strength of the persecuted
Long live the courage of the subjugated
Long live the spirit of the refugees
Long live the dignity of the displaced
Long live the freedom of the imprisoned
Long live the voice of the silenced masses
Long live the fight against authoritarians
Long live the rebellion of the exploited
Long live the resistance to theocratic rule
Long live the autonomy of indigenous peoples
Long live the solidarity of the marginalized
Long live the breath of the suffocated
Long live the will of those who refuse to kneel
Long live the animals freed from captivity
Long live the land defending itself
Long live the ecosystems resisting extraction
Long live all beings against domination

Wilding AI
Collective Research-Creation Lab
2024–Present | Montréal, Mexico City, Berlin, Amsterdam

What if we refused to let AI be domesticated?

Wilding AI is a nomadic and poly-morphic research-creation lab exploring what happens when artists hijack, break, and misuse machine learning to create spatial sound.

The collective is composed of Pía Baltazar, Beth Coleman, Sahar Homami, Daniela Huerta, Maurice Jones, Tegan Maharaj, Heu Hsu, Alexandre Saunier, Gadi Sassoon, Debashis Sinha, Nao Tokui and Portrait XO. Centering public engagement, the collective has focused on R&D residencies and open-studio presentations at leading international venues, including MUTEK and SAT Montreal, MUTEK Mexico, MONOM Studios for CTM Festival Berlin, and 4DSOUND for FIBER Festival in Amsterdam.

The Journey:

Aug 2024 — MUTEK Forum Lab, Montréal
First public experiment. Sonic agents learning memory, movement, spatial awareness.

Oct 2024 — MUTEK México, Mexico City
Two-day lab asking: if sound were alive, how would it behave?

Jan 2025 — CTM Festival Residency, MONOM Studios, Berlin
Three days integrating text, behavior, spatialization. Testing multiple users spatializing sound simultaneously: a first for MONOM.

Aug 2025 — World Premiere: FERAL FREQUENCIES
SAT Montréal for MUTEK & ArtIA
World Premiere of our composition FERAL FREQUENCIES at the Society for Arts and Technology for ArtIA and MUTEK Montréal 2025.

Sep 2025 - SPATIAL festival MONOM, Berlin
The Wilding AI collective presented the European Premiere of their composition FERAL FREQUENCIES at MONOM Studios.

In the middle of COVID’s haze, when everything felt paused and brittle, an unexpected invitation pulled me back into motion: performing Fana at Multiplica thanks to Yves Conrardy at Rotondes

It was surreal. My first time in Luxembourg, welcomed by warm, generous Luxembourgish hosts (Yves, Tom and the Rotondes team) who made the strangeness of the moment feel huma again. The technicians at Rotondes were funny and very easy to work with. We performed under distancing rules, masked faces, and careful spacing.

We also did an interview with Maxence Grugier from the Rotondes team about my art practice, which I'm happy to share with you.
