Cryptobiosphere is an ongoing multimedia collaboration by Zoetica Ebb and Kenji Siratori, extending toward a bilingual book and short documentary film.

At Xenopoem Conference, Cryptobiosphere brings moving image, voice, and generative sound into a sensory system that approached snow as distributed intelligence within the landscape. Filmed across winter terrain in Hokkaido, it tracked ice, wind, buried vegetation, and shifting light as signals in a system of accumulation, compression, and erosion.

A live reading of reconfigured notes moves alongside film fragments played in shifting sequence, while generative bio-instruments built from expedition recordings modulate the soundscape. Together, these elements form an unstable perceptual ecology shaped by non-human temporalities and slow material processes.
