This article presents artistic research based on existing knowledge about interspecific communication and hypothesis about the spread of interplanetary civilizations. It is expressed as an imagined communication flow between a human earthling scientist and a Kquaanian–human hybrid who is an artist by earthly occupation. While these two species’ sensoria are too different to allow discussion, this consideration supports the poetic approach to interspecies understanding, through immersive interactive installations and a willingness to share thoughts and feelings, in answering questions about the world and our place in it. The organs, molecules and protein expression of tardigrades provide a point of departure.
