Alex May and Anna Dumitriu presented ArchaeaBot: A Post Climate Change, Post Singularity Life-form in Unknown Unknowns at the 23rd Triennale Milano International Exhibition, where it was on show from 15 July 2022 to 8 January 2023.

The Triennale presentation showed how the work could operate beyond specialist media art contexts while keeping its speculative force. In this setting, ArchaeaBot connected May’s interest in memory, mediation, and technological futures to wider public questions about ecology, intelligence, and survival, placing the work within one of Europe’s most visible international exhibition platforms.
