Post - Animal Signal
Signals, Creatures, Ecologies, and Non-Human Imaginaries
About the Exhibition
Is the concept of the animal still stable?
As technology, ecology, mythology, sound, and moving images continually reshape our understanding of life, Post-Animal Signal explores how animals exist within language, memory, perception, and media.
Rather than focusing solely on animal representation, the exhibition asks:
-
How are animals seen?
-
How are animals narrated?
-
How do humans and non-humans coexist?
-
Can fictional, digital, or algorithmic creatures be considered forms of life?
We welcome works that explore emerging relationships between ecology, technology, sound, imagination, and non-human existence.

Sound Is Equally Important
Unlike many moving-image exhibitions, Post-Animal Signal places sound on equal footing with the visual.
We are particularly interested in works that engage with listening, sonic ecologies, non-human communication, and acoustic environments.
