Organic Intelligence (O.I)
This project began a few years ago, during a series of residencies where we explored the Mangrove, its complexity, its interdependence, and its quiet strength in holding entire ecosystems together. From these experiences emerged Organic Intelligence (0.I.), an electro-acoustic performance that speculates on futures where natural systems like the mangrove could become the planet’s last form of shield, resisting collapse and restoring balance.
We had the chance to present 0.I.
@berlinatonal , inside the vast concrete cathedral of Kraftwerk. Through dialogue between the human and non-human, analog and digital, utilising a mix of acoustic instruments, DJ mixing, field recordings, live coding, and synthesis, we build an evolving soundscape interlaced with vocals in Spanish, Wolof, and Catalan.
The live visuals performed by Nati
@akyute_ blend natural and artifical images transforming the space into audio-reactive dreamscape, echoing the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of the hall itself.
The visuals combine footage recorded between Africa and Europe by
@serahboo.m ,
@cocoem__ and Jokkoo members with 3D animation by
@vaopoku , including material from our residency in Kenya supported by the
@irllull .
At its core, 0.I. reflects on the current ecological crisis driven by extractivism, colonialism, and capitalism. The piece travels through mourning, pushing toward resilience, regeneration, and interconnection inviting audiences to slow down, to feel the pulse of deep planetary time, and to listen to the intelligence already present in nature.

![Jokkoo x setten Weekender: Baba Sy b2b SAMI (DJ)[SAMI]Sami is a Berlin-based music producer and DJ born in Jish, Palestine with roots in kufr bir'em village. Known for his genre fluid sets rooted in bass heavy sounds, he weaves through grime, 140 dubstep, bass, and rap. Originally cutting his teeth in hip gop across its many forms, Sami’s sound has evolved into a dynamic blend that reflects his knowledge and love for music. Beyond the decks, sami's building a platform for local and international talent through dasam, curating events that give space to emerging artists and new sounds.[Baba Sy]Baba Sy is a Senegalese DJ based in Barcelona, where he has redefined his current sonic language after a journey of musical exploration in an original club context, which has led to research in spaces that have allowed him freer experimentation. He is a co-founder of the Jokkoo music collective, from which they disseminate and create the most electronic and avant-garde sound of Africa and its diaspora, and through which he tries to build a community with which to share and generate spaces where artistic expression has no limits. Projects such as DEER, where he has written and performed in Wolof (his native language) over electronic beats by the producer Aiiom, or Passportman are some of the alter egos he has created in recent years to express his creativity and give voice to his deepest concerns.————Playing DJ set on Saturday 18 April21:00 - 4:00at Secret Location near JannowitzbrückeTickets & weekend passes available on RA!](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6739332021503268515560_0_44c7dbe1d88487ec29079e808a708c1c.jpg?o=aHR0cHM6Ly9zY29udGVudC1vcmQ1LTMuY2RuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS92L3Q1MS44Mjc4Ny0xNS82NzA2Njk1MTlfMTgwOTk0OTgxMTYwNDg4OTJfNTM5MDM4OTAxNTQyNzc1NDE2NF9uLmpwZz9zdHA9YzAuMTgxLjE0NDAuMTQ0MGFfZHN0LWpwZ19lMzVfczY0MHg2NDBfc2gyLjA4X3R0NiZfbmNfaHQ9c2NvbnRlbnQtb3JkNS0zLmNkbmluc3RhZ3JhbS5jb20mX25jX2NhdD0xMDAmX25jX29jPVE2Y1oyZ0VBWW5RTDU4c2dyQ2xEbEt2VTFZYV9OSUlFSV8zQWp5VjFlbkE4SVhaUmlaQXJEbDhrZm1VZ2dlVUZwUXFoLWY4UzlNVnUzQzhFeVYwdWFwTWxpWjlLJl9uY19vaGM9Y3JsV3ZsVEZmUjBRN2tOdndHb0thVkUmX25jX2dpZD1UN3lqSkZGbVRaYlJ3OWNKcDVqSklBJmVkbT1BUFU4OUZBQkFBQUEmY2NiPTctNSZvaD0wMF9BZjV5SmdUelFlMXpUNjJmYlgzbkp5eTF3WVZvdU5hUzhXNjFnRFJlUjg2VVZRJm9lPTZBMEU5MjhBJl9uY19zaWQ9YmMwYzJj&h=6e5a7b5a6aefecee42d8eaeff612996e)
![Jokkoo x setten Weekender: Pasaporteman + Sara Persico (LIVE)[Pasaporteman]Baba Sy (Senegal/Spain) is a vocalist, dj, producer and performer who operates under the name of Pasaporteman. He created this alter ego to present an artistic response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean Sea, where thousands of lives are lost each year in attempts to cross to Europe. Using the raw, evocative power of voice and sound, Pasaporteman crafts a sonic landscape that gives voice to the invisible victims of this tragedy.In his performance, the voice becomes both a metaphor for the silenced and a tool for remembrance. Through a mixture of chanting, wailing, and spoken word, the artist explores the haunting, sorrowful echoes of those who have perished, people whose stories remain largely unheard. These vocalizations are layered with field recordings of the Mediterranean’s waves, the screech of distant ships, and the sounds of the border patrol, creating a soundscape that is both disorienting and immersive.The use of sound not only conveys the emotional gravity of the subject matter but also emphasizes the disconnect between the voices of the deceased and the indifference of the international community[Sara Persico]Sara Persico is a sound artist, composer and performer from Napoli (IT) whose work centres on voice, analog electronics and field recordings.She has collaborated with a diverse array of artists, including performing with Evelyn Saylor’s vocal ensemble for Caterina Barbieri’s light-years at Rewire Festival and London’s Southbank Centre, and working with artists like Elvin Brandhi, Ziúr, Tony Elieh, Ludwig Wandinger, Dirar Kalash, and Francesca Grilli.————Playing LIVE set on Sunday 19 April18:00 - 0:00at Secret Location near JannowitzbrückeTickets & weekend passes available on RA!](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6747252555562368675017_0_aee951ab921a5456cc7d1c356bbb884e.jpg?o=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&h=e0eda9a3ca28cea6ceeb5e90dd792ec5)
