Based between Australia and Brazil, Audax M. Gawler is an award-winning planetary artist and multigenre Symbiopunk whose practice envisions and rehearses speculative, interspecies futures. Their research-seeded work favours participatory prototypes, inviting audiences into encounters with possible futures shapes by multispecies justice, feral imaginaries, and collaborative survival. Resisting discipline boundaries, their approach entangles posthuman practice with experiential and speculative design, natural science, live-art, ritual and world building.

Some of this work has included; A global recognition framework for plant languages (Tree Tongue 2026) a pollinator led temple for planetary regeneration (Muto 2025) an interspecies surrogacy clinic (Carrykin 2023), Multispecies engagement audits for art Institutions (MEEP 2022), a multiplatform re-worlding led by viral bodies (Emissary2920, 2020), an immersive insect kinship lab (Flight Path 2019) and a seven-hour participatory eco-grief ritual (Mokita, 2017).

Beyond exhibition, Audax uses their research on multispecies thinking, ecologic stewardship and hope-full futures to publish fiction, non-fiction and academic scholarship, as well as designing and facilitating educational programs, artist labs and industry panels. Their work is internationally recognised, and has been commissioned, programmed, exhibited, and published by institutions including Powerhouse Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, The Australian Network of Art & Technology, Ian Potter Museum of Art, Multicultural Arts Victoria, The Sydney Institute for the Environment, The Interspecies Library, The Center for Projection Art, NIDA, The University of Utrecht, The University of Melbourne Center for Visual Art, The University of Sydney, and Konfstack University of Art, Craft and Design, The International Digital Media & Art Association, Art + Australia, The International Journal of Practice-based Humanities and Dark Mountain Journal.

Audax has been awarded; Most Significant Futures Works (MSFW) Award by The Association of Professional Futurists, the Nature Stewards Scholarship from Landcare Australia and Outdoor Victoria, a Green Room Award, and extended funding for ongoing work in art x science through the Creative Victoria Creators Fund. They have been a finalist in The TMRRW Future Awards, the Incinerator Art Award: Art for Social Change, and the Northern Beaches Environmental Art & Design Award. They also hold a Masters from the School of Communications at the University of Melbourne, with a thesis which advocated for interspecies agency and the inclusion of more-than-human language in human literature.

Audax is; Guest Editor for the Posthuman Press, Futures columinst for Fast Compnay Brasil, Co-creator and convener of the Trans* Ecology Club and the forthcoming Transplanet Festival, a steward of Queer x Futures, occasional guest co-curator of the Forum of Sensory Motion Giant Cuttlefish Residency, co-founder and facilitator of award winning Community Transmissions Futures Residency, one half of queer-time lab GEOFADE alongside Devika Bilimoria.
