Sofia Crespo is an Argentine artist based in Lisbon, Portugal, whose practice explores the convergence of artificial intelligence and biological systems. Working as part of the artistic duo Entangled Others with Norwegian artist Feileacan Kirkbride McCormick, she investigates how organic life and artificial mechanisms simulate and evolve each other. Her work has been exhibited globally at institutions including the Victoria & Albert Museum and in Times Square. In 2022, Entangled Others’ work Swim was acquired by the Buffalo AKG Art Museum for its permanent collection. Crespo’s contributions to the field have been recognized by the German Informatics Society with its AI Newcomer Award.
