BIOWAVES aims to create a new human-nature repository of data.
A DNA genome, as large as the human one, document extracted from brain waves of brilliant minds.
Developed as the first collaboration in between Solimán López – Zina Cicker and the coordination of Natallia Yaskevich for the previous event Puzzle X, *Biowaves* results as an interdisciplinary artwork that explores the connection between living and artificial systems through a symbiotic dialogue between humans and whales. By capturing human brainwaves and the bioacoustics of whales, the work synthesizes this information into DNA sequences, symbolizing a convergence of biology and technology.
The result materializes as a musical vinyl album, where brainwave patterns and whale songs are transformed into sonic compositions. This vinyl, as a poetic and conceptual object, encapsulates a bridge between species, questioning the limits of communication, coexistence, and perception.
Through *Biowaves*, the viewer is invited to reflect on our connection to the planet and the life forms that inhabit it, creating a space for introspection and a rediscovery of our place within a broader living system.

With this artwork we make live together the human brain waves with the whales waves.
