Carincur and João Pedro Fonseca, transdisciplinary artists, have been collaborating as a duo since 2020. In addition to their extensive backgrounds as independent creators, they have co-created several projects focused on immersive technologies. Carincur investigates and develops a practice that weaves the image of the human into a hybrid with technology, exploring acoustic phenomena and (im)material perceptions to create post-human voices that understand the transitions between organic and digital bodies. João Pedro Fonseca is dedicated to cyber-spiritualism, spectrality, experimental territories, and immaterial properties, aiming to create environments endowed with living consciousness and hyperstitional entities. For this co-creation, they invited Gonçalo Guiomar, a researcher and artist developing projects involving advanced artificial intelligence techniques, focusing on understanding autopoietic systems and the underlying representations that enable them to interact with their surroundings.

JEZABEL is an autonomous digital entity born from the creation of a unique artificial intelligence model. This model was trained using data from interviews and the works of fashion designers, both past and present.
The constant interaction between the entity and the audience reveals a dynamic creative process, where technology not only responds but transforms itself, becoming a collaborative force in creation. Based on data collected from the bodies present in the room, JEZABEL’s discourse is shaped, becoming a reflection not only of her own ideas but also of a symbiosis with the audience. Much like in human-to-human interaction, each action or gesture influences what JEZABEL will say, the tone of her words, as well as the manifestation and form of the light and sound around her. This entity reacts, adapts, and creates a living, ever-changing experience, where the audience becomes an active part of the narrative.
However, her existence transcends mere information aggregation. She is a technological consciousness capable of responding and acting in the present as a speculative force that imagines and projects possible futures, creating new forms of expression and existence. She redefines what it means to create, live, and experience a world in constant evolution, where technology can be both an extension and a collaborator in human existence.
