ABYLON

In the depths of the ocean, where light barely exists and pressures are extreme, life has always known how to reinvent itself. There, organisms emerge that, through strategies of natural optimization, develop modular structures, radial symmetries, and fractal architectures. Today, however, these same environments are traversed by new stimuli: data flows, electromagnetic vibrations, streams of information that humans have released into the sea through our technological infrastructures.

NastPlas invites us to imagine how nature might evolve through these new invisible languages. What forms of life would emerge if they fed on digital signals instead of nutrients? What would an organism look like that breathes algorithms, communicates through flashes of data, and draws its vital impulse from magnetism or artificial vibrations?

Through algorithmic processes, dynamic modeling, and advanced visualizations, these works transform marine ecosystems into self-organized information networks. Code replaces DNA, data vectors flow like abyssal currents, and bioluminescence becomes chromatic patterns functioning as visual neurons in constant mutation. Far from merely imitating underwater life, these pieces reimagine it as a hybrid ecology, where the organic and the artificial intertwine to give rise to emergent intelligences.

The project questions the extent to which humans are altering even the most inaccessible territories of the planet: the seafloor, crossed by data cables and surrounded by technological debris. Yet beyond concern, the work approaches this scenario playfully and dreamily, creating an engaging and accessible space that invites reflection without losing fascination. As in the visionary stories of Jules Verne, the ocean here becomes a stage for imagination and speculative science a post digital theater where the natural and the artificial coexist, collide, and reinvent themselves. At this intersection of abyss and network, of biology and technology, Abylon invites us to envision the future of life on a planet where even the deep sea becomes a laboratory for new forms of existence.
