Entomorphosis

Entomorphosis is a visual study of transformation and nature’s taxonomies, inspired by the intricate structures of insects and their sonic imprints.

Developed in response to Leon Louder’s album, Entomophonie—commissioned by the Montreal Insectarium and MUTEK—this work explores the intersection of biological archives and generative image synthesis. Using 763 original images from the Insectarium’s collection, the project reconstructs, distorts, and reimagines entomological specimens beyond scientific documentation, shifting archival practices from static preservation to algorithmic reinterpretation.

Through this process, textures, patterns, and organic symmetries emerge, reflecting the structures of insect morphology while engaging with the digital transformation of biological memory. The work examines how non-human life is encoded, categorized, and interpreted within technological and artistic frameworks, rethinking the ways in which overlooked species are represented in data-driven and creative systems.

Graced by the Montreal Insectarium | Espace pour la vie and MUTEK licensing of their images, Entomorphosis moves between scientific documentation and speculative reconstruction, questioning the boundaries between natural history and synthetic perception.
