Artist Statement
Neometa's art stands as a profound call to action, challenging traditional notions of existence and offering an alternative view of interspecies relationships to shift humanity’s current narrative from climate grief to restoration. It encourages a responsible and thoughtful approach towards technological and scientific advancements and their impact on the ecosystem. Ultimately, I hope that my work showcases the beauty and innocent tranquillity of the moment that we, all species, equally have in the endless entropy of the universe. Like a feeling we get in front of the immensity of Nature. To find the balance in between…
I'm driven by an open, process-led exploration of multi-species relationships focusing on nonhuman agency through observation, listening, understanding and empathy. I believe in the transformative impact of collaboration, scientific experimentation and co-enquiry across disciplines towards a more sustainable tomorrow. Every art piece and every decision is born from the dynamic interplay of human-nonhuman interaction, emphasising the importance of kindness and empathy in nurturing a regenerative world. Working with the discarded (tech, fossils, memories...), I explore the potential encounters between organisms (slime mould, mycelium, plants...) with natural and man-made fossils, shaping fragile but resilient ‘landscapes in-between’.

Our life is half natural and half technological.
Half-and-half is good."

Manifesto
Nothing is permanent. And it's freeing.
We are here for a short time, compared to the infinity of the universe.
In a world where beauty and chaos exist side by side. Whether it's infinite or not... we won't be there to see it. And that's wonderful.
Not knowing doesn't make me sad. It's exciting. Both real and unknowable. Our thoughts are like stars in the thinkable universe. Shining in billions of digits.
