With the advancements in acoustic science and artificial intelligence, we gain understanding of animal communication. Can we learn from the creative intelligence of another species?  What are the possibilities when artists creatively approach this vast new understanding? 

Annie Lewandowski, composer and performer, and engineer artist, Kyle Mcdonald, apply their imagination and their tech to create a concert of whale songs.  Explore with them how Humpback Whales think, communicate, and exhibit creativity in their songs and engage with ecological curator at The Serpentine Galleries, Lucia Pietroiusti, on what artists bring to the table of the interspecies quest.
