vision & values

At interrlab, we believe that bringing together art and science to address local and global challenges is not simply a matter of merging two domains of knowledge. It is a generative act that gives rise to a new hybrid space, an emergent post-disciplinary territory where disciplinary boundaries dissolve and new ways of thinking and creating can unfold.

Drawing on Donna Haraway's reflections in Chthulucene, we understand these collaborations as forms of interspecies relating—non-hierarchical, interdependent, and co-constitutive. Rather than reproducing models of competition and linear progress, we are inspired by Lynn Margulis' theory of symbiogenesis, which repositions collaboration as a driver of both biological evolution and epistemological renewal.

In this sense, post-disciplinary interrelation is not only an innovative methodology: it is a cultural and ethical imperative in the face of the post-Anthropocene condition. Framed within Glenn Albrecht's concept of the Symbiocene, our work emphasizes the need for mutualism, co-creation, and care across systems, disciplines, and species, including artificial ones.

This is the ethos guiding interrlab: collaboration as a transformative force for knowledge, for institutions, and for the futures we imagine together.
