AI and Technodiversity

In this episode we hear a large excerpt of Moisés Horta Valenzuela’s live performance “Acaso de veras se vive con raíz en la tierra?”. In the interview that follows, Moisés discusses some the ideas behind Semilla AI, the neural audio synthesizer used in the performance. He offers comments on seed casting and algorithmic prediction, technodiversity, and collaborative authorship in response to corporate AI. The performance does not reproduce ancestral practices but places them in critical conversation with contemporary computational methods. Each gesture and transformation becomes a speculative act: listening not only for what is to come, but for how we might remain rooted on Earth.
