MUTUALISMX arrives as culmination of the multidisciplinary experimentation of Moisés Horta Valenzuela, better known as Hexorcismos. For the last seven years the sound artist, technologist, and electronic musician has worked with generative artificial neural networks as world-building tools to amplify a plurality of views and voices across image and sound synthesis, offering an alternative approach to artificial intelligence that privileges collective understanding over the biases inherent in contemporary A.I. models and datasets. This research led to the creation of , a “small data” neural audio synthesis tool designed to mimic and transform the sonic fingerprint of the user. Aligning the “technopoetics of generative computation”, decolonial aesthetics and efforts to rethink A.I. interfaces, draws parallels between the Deep Learning practice of using ‘seeds,’ integer numbers used to generate other, pseudo-random numbers, and the Mesoamerican Mixe divination practice of ‘Mook pajk w&#
