As Above, So Below was an official Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. Organised by One Ocean Foundation and conceived by ZEITGEIST19, it was curated by Elizabeth Zhivkova and Farah Piriye Coene and staged in the former church of Santi Cosma e Damiano at Fabbrica H3 on Giudecca. The exhibition treated the ocean as both science and memory, and followed the hidden systems that connect sea, land and air.
Orkhan Mammadov presented Conversations between Nature's Memory, listed in the exhibition as In Conversation with Nature's Memory: a site-specific, AI-driven digital installation created for the show that makes the hidden mycelium network visible. The series of 106 works was released on Transient Labs on 29 May 2026, while the exhibition was open.
Artists: Antoine Bertin, Andrea Crespi, Marshmallow Laser Feast, Orkhan Mammadov, Almagul Menlibayeva, Suad Gara, Elnara Nasirli, Yoko Shimizu.
