Audax M. Gawler (nee Luna Mrozik Gawler)is a multigenre Symbiopunk worldbuilder working to start the Symbiocene, a symbiotic, compassionate, reverent, post-anthropocentric planetary future.

Their experiential, research-driven inquiry fuses participatory and speculative design with media, performance, text and scenography to investigate the cultural, political, and ecological entanglements of interspecies relations and the possible futures to emerge from them. Informed by queer and trans ecologies, natural sciences, ritual and posthuman methodologies, this work operates as speculative fieldwork for postnormal worlds, generating new/old ways of knowing that abandon anthropocentric legacies in favour of emergent, multispecies imaginaries.

Some of this work has included; a temple for trans-planetary regeneration (Muto 2025) an interspecies surrogacy clinic (Carrykin 2023), Multispecies engagement audits for art Institutions (MEEP 2022), participatory 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, 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.

Audax is; Co-creator and convener of the Trans* Ecology Club, A steward of Queer x Futures, 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, founding member of ecological live-art collective L&NDLESS and a resident at School House Studios.
