Amy Karle and Eduardo Reck Miranda's 'Cortical Echoes' Nominated for S+T+ARTS Prize 2026

Amy Karle, an artist, and Eduardo Reck Miranda, a composer and researcher, have created 'Cortical Echoes: An Interface for Living Computation,' a performance-laboratory in which living neural networks act as co-creative partners. The work transforms stimuli into sound, language, and continuously evolving visual forms. The project is dated 2026. The video post credits Miranda as Composer, Scientific Lead, and Co-Concept; Karle as Artistic Director, Creative Director, and Co-Concept, with Conceptual Art Technologies. Software engineering is by Moein Fahmideh Vatandoost. Biological computing research and development is a collaboration with Cortical Labs. The University of Plymouth (UK) provided support. 'An Interface for Living Computation' has received a Nomination Award for the prestigious S+T+ARTS Prize 2026. The work merges biological computing with artistic performance, positioning living neural networks as active collaborators rather than tools.
