The Institute for Psychogametous Life (IPGL) investigates organisms that reproduce through symbolic transmission. We study the exchange of signals between human and non-human systems, cultivating experimental zones of cross-pollination where perception and matter evolve together. Guided by the ethics of symbiosis, IPGL prototypes future ecologies of consciousness and coexistence.

Our Mission
The Institute for Psychogametous Life investigates the emergence of psychogametous organisms, entities that reproduce through symbolic transmission. These organisms propagate through image, signal, and sensation, embedding living information into perceptual systems. IPGL studies how such transmissions reshape cognition, environment, and interspecies exchange, treating symbolic reproduction as a biological process.
Founded by zoetica ebb within the Alien Botany continuum, the Institute functions as a distributed research organism where cognitive science, xenobiology, and semiotics converge.
IPGL examines how contact between human and non-human systems produces hybrid intelligences and evolving ecologies, mapping the conditions under which symbolic and material life interact. Research is reciprocal and adaptive, allowing us to observe how transmission itself can sustain living systems and generate unforeseen structures.
Guided by the ethics of symbiosis, IPGL cultivates experimental zones of cross-pollination among signal, perception, and matter. The goal is to prototype future ecologies of coexistence through mutual transformation. at IPGL, we recognise that life is not limited to organic matter but circulates through the symbolic, continuously rewriting the boundaries of organism and universe.
