Kristof De Clercq, Roberta Gigante and Christina Stadlbauer
Kristof De Clercq, Roberta Gigante and Christina Stadlbauer form a transdisciplinary team bridging computational science, artistic practice and biological research. Their collaboration weaves together diverse backgrounds: Kristof De Clercq brings expertise in logic, philosophy, and artificial intelligence through his work with adaptive logics and machine learning applications; Roberta Gigante brings her experience in visual and performing arts, with a particular focus on site-specific interventions and installations; and Christina Stadlbauer adds her unique perspective as an artist-scientist focused on other-than-human life forms, combining her PhD in Chemistry with artistic research on biodiversity and interspecies relations. The team’s work emphasizes open ended inquiry and cross-disciplinary dialogue, embracing uncertainty as a generative force. Through their residency across scientific research institutions and collaboration with experts, they seek to generate novel perspectives on the relationships between traditional craft knowledge, biological processes and computational systems, creating both conceptual frameworks and material manifestations that challenge conventional boundaries between these domains.
