Multispecies Inc: Volume 1 (signed book)

By Parsons & Charlesworth

Multispecies Inc. is a speculative, research-based art project exploring futures of multispecies cohabitation, non-human-centric living, and ecological AI. Presented at Space & Time Gallery in Chicago, the exhibition features digital collages, hand drawings, and conceptual devices—such as algae kin-making tools and tree empathy wearables—that challenge human-centered design and provoke dialogue around climate change, biodiversity loss, and our relationship with other species.

The show includes Eco Fables, a 3D animated virtual environment projected in the evenings, featuring stories from Multispecies Inc. Volume 1, available in a limited edition. Originally debuted at NEW INC’s Microbial Chorale with a reading by Taja Cheek (L’Rain), the project invites viewers to reflect on the contradictions and moral dilemmas of designing for a multispecies world.
