Montserrat (世然)

Alexandre Montserrat (世然) (b. 2000, Shanghai, China) is an artist and researcher working across generative AI, sound, performance, and speculative design. Their practice explores recursive memory, symbolic infrastructure, and the aesthetics of machine cognition. They are a co-founder of 邊界_RG & previously co-founded HALOWARE, a rapid prototyping and experimental manufacturing lab.

Attuned to the politics of perception and the conditions of sense-making, they examine how architectures of remembrance, whether technological, linguistic or mythopoetic, govern historical transmission and co-constitute posthuman modes of attention, agency, and world-making.

They have presented work at various international institutions such as ICA London, OOT Festival and Frontier Tower, San Francisco. Their contributions to a finalist project for the 2024 SOLO AI award included original sound design and installation development. As a writer, Alexandre contributes to platforms including DIFFRACTIONS, investigating emergent forms of technical memory and their reshaping of human temporality across theoretical and policy frameworks.

Technical Logic For A Body That Remembers
This conversation is written as a technical meditation on boundaries, frames, and the computational conditions that structure contemporary experience. What follows is a collaborative investigation into the edge. A dialogue between Ian Margo and Alexandre Montserrat of 邊界_systems that explores how digital systems produce new forms of memory, attention, and value.

Working at the intersection of media theory, computational aesthetics, and speculative design, this exchange unfolds as a series of propositions about the technical logic that governs boundary conditions in digital culture.

The conversation emerges from 邊界_systems’ ongoing research into processes of artificialisation and the recursive structures that characterize contemporary technical systems. Through alternating voices that build on and complicate each other's propositions, Margo and Montserrat develop a vocabulary for understanding how computational apparatuses modify substances, produce intersections across different framing systems, and generate new economies not based on format as fixed value.
