Semantica is artist duo Jemma Foster and Camilla French, whose work explores fragile ecologies and interspecies communication through emerging technologies.
Their practice incorporates biodata, sound, film, generative art and sculptural works. Collaborating with engineers, biologists and musicians to examine ways of sensing and co-creating with more-than-human worlds, they create large-scale interactive installations.
They have produced projects about human and plant mythology, planetary processes, the soil microbiome, industrial agriculture and altered states of consciousness.
Their work has been exhibited at Somerset House, Ars Electronica, FACT Liverpool, Festival de la Imagen, Voltaje Festival, Istanbul Digital Art Festival, Museo la Tertulia, COP28, and COP16. In 2023, they were awarded the Golden Nica for Digital Music and Sound Art at Ars Electronica for their collaborative piece with Atractor Studios; ‘A Tale of Two Seeds: Sound and Silence in Latin America's Andean Plains.' This piece now forms part of the private collection of Banco de la República in Bogotá.
