“World Wilder Lab” is a platform focusing on inter and intra species communication.
We work on the intersection of art, science, design and technology
to facilitate artistic expression for biological entities, have a dialogue with nature & promote the notion of collaboration & partnership with natural systems.
We do so by making art installations, tools and workshops, so that through our work we can introduce all living organisms - such as plants, microbes or corals - as creative constituents of our environment. We advocate the open source soft-, wet-, bio- and hard- ware technologies and investigate how those technologies can become agents between human culture and other living organisms; how we can empower people to explore natural systems around us and learn technology from nature; how we can embrace other entities into what we call “culture”; and how we can alter our attitudes towards other living organisms to consider them as equal co-designers of our mutual habitats.
We believe that art and positive narrative can expose those concepts to the wider audience and help to shape our attitude towards the future.

World Wilder Lab has been co-founded by three artists: Kasia Molga, Erik Overmeire and Ivan Henriques in March 2013.
It is run now by Kasia Molga and Erik Overmeire, with regular contributions from practitioners and researchers such as tutors and students from Chelsea College of Arts Interior and Spatial Design and Interactive Architecture Lab The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (both in London) and scientists from The Laboratory of Plant Physiology and Biophysics in Glasgow and Department of Plant Sciences University of Cambridge.
