The Nordic Interface Talent Program is a collaboration between The Lumen Prize and Kunstsilo, focused on supporting artists in the Nordic region working at the intersection of art and technology. The program aims to strengthen networks, expertise, and visibility by providing artists with time, resources, and professional support to develop new work.
Building on a longstanding partnership between the two organizations, the program offers a selected artist mentorship from an international network of experts, dedicated production support, and the opportunity to develop and present a new work in Kunstsilo’s iconic Silohall during the Lumen Prize Awards weekend in November.
Nordic Interface launches with the artist duo Entangled Others, composed of Feileacan Kirkbride McCormick (Norway) and Sofia Crespo (Argentina). Their practice explores the complex relationships between artificial intelligence and biological systems, challenging how we understand the connection between technology and life.
Kunstsilo is also a partner in MishMash, a newly established research center for AI in Norway. This partnership enables further knowledge development around the role of AI in the arts and strengthens Nordic Interface as a platform for artists working at the forefront of technological innovation, in dialogue with established institutions such as Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK) and Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre (TEKS).
The program is supported by Cultiva, which provides production funding, mentorship, and public engagement through exhibitions and open seminars.
“We’re delighted to continue our collaboration with the wonderful teams at Lumen and Kunstsilo, and to create work for such a magical space for the arts. For Feileacan, as the Norwegian half of our duo, this project also carries a deeply personal resonance and a full-circle moment, unfolding close to where he grew up.”

About Entangled Others
Entangled Others is an experimental artist duo composed of Feileacan Kirkbride McCormick and Sofia Crespo. Their collaborative practice delves into the intricate web of relationships between the more-than-human world and its interaction with human technologies, driven by the concept of entanglement—a complex state where no single entity exists in isolation, and every action, interaction, and expression resonates through a multitude of interconnected beings.
In their practice, McCormick and Crespo explore the uncanny and eerie spaces that lie between human technologies and non-human worlds, advocating for the dissolution of the self-imposed distance that separates us from the richness of our interwoven existence. Their art emphasises the necessity of recognising and nurturing the diversity and interconnectedness that define our shared environment.
Through their work, they question notions of bias in technology, and the representation of natural species: proposing a return to a biological model of computation, and exploring concepts of entanglement across various species & ecosystems. Entangled Others invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries between the human and non-human, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the intricate tapestry of life that sustains us all.
They have participated in talks, exhibitions, and have been awarded prizes internationally. Some of these include presentations at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, NeueHouse LA, MIT, Re:Humanism, Oxford University, UNESCO HQ Paris, Goldsmith University, and Times Square Midnight Moment, among many others. Their work also forms part of prestigious private and permanent institutional collections, such as the Buffalo AKG Museum, Onassis Foundation, Colección SOLO, among many others.
Entangled Others were the winners of The 2025 Lumen Prize Nature & Climate Award.
