María Constanza Lobos / Sebastián Rojas

Hypereikon is an artistic duo based in Valdivia, Chile.

Their practice moves across generative audiovisual performance, immersive installation, moving image, and web-based systems. They build computational environments where sound, authored image and video synthesis, creative coding, data workflows, custom interfaces, and real-time processing behave as one compositional field.

Working with ecological datasets, field material, archives, and generative models, they approach AI as an instrument for navigation, selection, transformation, and recomposition. From a southern Latin American perspective, their work investigates how ecology, memory, perception, and technical infrastructures shape one another.

horizontal threads / not vertical categories

The work is held together by recurring behaviors.

01

Mediation As World Condition

Nature, archive, body, memory, and sound are encountered through devices, models, cameras, prompts, interfaces, compression, and partial recollection.

02

Archive As Living Matter

The archive does not preserve the past intact; it mutates, decays, returns, recombines, and becomes environment.

03

System As Instrument

Technical systems are touched, tuned, pressured, listened to, bent, and recomposed rather than treated as production buttons.

04

Threshold Forms

Organisms, images, datasets, and landscapes appear in states of latency, emergence, contamination, and transformation.

01 / generative web observatory

INTERCONEXIÓN::DATASTREAM (2024-ongoing)

Plant and moss image overlaid with luminous technical interface lines.
Synthetic butterfly, flowers, leaves, and diagrammatic grid in a dark botanical environment.

Format: generative web observatory / interactive installation

Keywords: biodiversity archives, ecological memory, speculative digital ecosystems

Interconexión::DataStream is a generative web observatory built from ecological datasets, field material, and archive-based transformation. Drawing on localized material from the Valdivian rainforest and southern Latin America, the project reorganizes image, sound, and textual traces into unstable forms that evolve through interaction, treating ecological memory as an active audiovisual system.

The project combines localized multimedia datasets, biodiversity archives, field textures, sound, and archival material with custom AI workflows and a responsive web interface. Interaction continuously reshapes the system’s visual, sonic, and behavioral states in real time.

archive ingestion AI workflows web organism interactive mutation

Format / technique: a generative web platform and possible installation environment that ingests ecological, visual, sonic, and textual material into a navigable interface.

System behavior: images, sounds, and archive fragments mutate through interaction, making the project behave less like a database and more like an evolving digital organism.

Status: active project line in development.

Wetland-like synthetic garden. Black interface plate with floral and insect studies. Field detail of flowers, water, and interface traces. Insect-like synthetic organism over a dark plate. Live presentation with projected generative imagery.

02 / immersive installation

Our Mediated Nature (2024)

Aerial synthetic landscape with fluid green and blue ecological forms.
Installation with screens placed among wooden earthquake residues.

Format: immersive audiovisual installation / live coding / multi-screen environment

Keywords: mediated perception, ecological scale, immersive audiovisual installation

Our Mediated Nature is an immersive audiovisual installation that examines how technical systems shape the perception of ecological phenomena. Through generated imagery, live coding, real-time video synthesis, and responsive sound, the work constructs a spatial environment in which image and sound operate as a single evolving perceptual field.

Developed from research within the residues of the 1960 Valdivia earthquake, the work uses analog noise, signal fragments, and installation-based spatial memory to produce a visual archaeology of geological persistence.

03 / live A/V performance

oOteca (2025)

Wide dark botanical image with a glowing green center.
Vertical field of liquid flowers, bubbles, and suspended cellular forms.

Format: live A/V performance / generative audiovisual work

Keywords: latency, containment, emergence

oOteca is a live audiovisual performance organized around latency, containment, pressure, and emergence. Structured through real-time generative systems, the work moves from minimal and suspended states toward unstable hatching processes, treating image and sound as coupled materials under tension.

The piece approaches life and agency as threshold conditions shaped by pressure, adaptation, and transformation.

containment latency pressure emergence

Format / technique: a live A/V performance composed through live coding, image synthesis, real-time audiovisual transformation, and sonic composition.

System behavior: the performance lets latency, pressure, containment, and incubation become behaviors of the audiovisual system itself.

Presented at: Palacio Libertad, Buenos Aires; Magma Futura, Montevideo.

Soft pink and green synthetic floral forms. Wide abstract cellular field in pink and yellow. White organism-like pods on dark background. Audience seated in a gallery with pink projection. Foggy mountain image with floating white forms.

04 / altered sensorium

UNEARTHING LATENT ARTIFACTS (2024)

Live performance with reptile eye projection surrounding the performers.
Synthetic insect body rendered on a gray field.

Format: live A/V performance / generative audiovisual work

Keywords: multispecies perception, nonhuman vision, altered sensorium

path: signal -> drift -> disintegration -> mutation -> rebirth

Unearthing Latent Artifacts is an immersive live audiovisual performance investigating multispecies perception through generative image and sound. Inspired by the visual systems of mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, the work builds altered environments that displace anthropocentric vision and propose perception as a mutable, cross-species construction.

A project line focused on information flow, erosion, mutation, and return across synthetic archival matter.

Format: dome-projection video / short-form moving image / speculative digital ecology

Keywords: algorithmic terrarium, plant mutation, coded atmosphere

NiCTINASTiA is a moving-image work conceived for dome presentation. It stages a synthetic terrarium in continuous transformation, where plant-like forms, coded atmospheres, and unstable morphologies unfold within a single sensory field.

The work uses dome projection as a spatial container for an algorithmic ecology that behaves less like a scene and more like an atmosphere under mutation.
