The debut work of BGGB is an inquiry on speculative evolution co-designed with AI, inspired by medieval
bestiaries. At Collectible Brussels, the studio presents the centrepiece of the collection, the Arquà Manuscript Tapestry, within the context of the Curated section. Speculative evolution is a common trope in sci-fi literature, focused on hypothetical scenarios in the evolution of life. What would animals look like in the far future on Planet Earth, long after humanity has vanished? With Earth's ecosystems undergoing extreme transformations due to millennia of unchecked evolution, climate shifts, and new symbiotic relationships, new species will emerge.
Challenging common dichotomies between scientific and symbolic knowledge, epistemic and aesthetic modes of visualization, the Arquà Manuscript Collection presents dream-like scenarios inhabited by fantastic creatures, moving on the foreground of a post-human world, where new balances have come to establish as a result of the diminished influence of the human species on ecosystems.
