Interspecifics MX

Mexico City art collective including founding artists Leslie García and Paloma López, also known as LogarDecay

Interspecifics tap into the vibrational links between species, using sound frequencies to link usually unseen worlds—from bacteria and slime mold to human brain waves and measurable data. What that sounds like: unearthed ambient soundscapes, a patterned language of signal communication, the sonic intrigue of what Interspecifics calls “Non-Human Rhythms.” Leslie García and Paloma López work as composer-creators at the intersection of music, installation and science. They’re observers and transformers of physical phenomenon, bringing several artistic and scientific disciplines together to craft a living, hybrid art that uses DIY and custom-made sets of hardware they call “ontological machines.” Leslie García is an electronic artist and digital media developer, co-founder of the Tijuana-based electronic media collective Dream Addictive, member of Mexico City-based Astrovandalistas and a research associate at Nucleo Laboratorial Nano de la Escola de Belas Artes – Universidad Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Paloma López holds a Master of Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship from Goldsmiths, is part of Tijuana’s Radioglobal collective and is the research director at online contemporary culture platform Estándar.
