Chorcorallium is co-created with local communities, who imagine and voice coral species through workshops involving drawing, AI generation, and sound. In Malta, the project will expand into deep water, connecting the island’s unique maritime heritage with the dramatic geology of the Sicilian Channel. Participants will contribute coral species inspired by the deep-sea ecologies off the Maltese coast. Their voices will be spatialised into the reef’s evolving soundscape and presented in a series of events during Lauren’s residency.

At the end of the residency, Lauren will give a short presentation to introduce her work that fuses video game technologies, artificial intelligence and collaborative performance, and showing the results of her residency in Malta as part of the Culture Directorate PAX Cultura award.

This talk is presented through the Artist in Residence Initiative launched by the Culture Directorate, in collaboration with Malta Society of Arts and the Valletta Cultural Agency, through the Valletta Design Cluster, with the support of the Bored Peach Club.
