Festival of Ecological Imagination – Sensing the Climate
[ITA] Il festival si ispira a prospettive antropologiche, filosofiche ed ecologiche che mettono in discussione la separazione tra umano e non umano, mente e corpo, natura e cultura.

Spazi Naturali / Spazi Artificiali
I tre concetti in gioco nel titolo, “spazio”, “naturale” e “artificiale” offrono una serie di spunti sia singolarmente che combinati insieme. Certo, il binomio naturale/artificiale appare in questo momento storico-culturale fondamentale per comprendere come e quanto si sta trasformando il mondo circostante. Il termine “naturale” rimanda anche alla nozione di “reale”, mentre il termine “artificiale” può anche essere affiancato o sostituito dal concetto di “virtuale”.

Electric Dreams. Art and Technology before the Internet
Discover how artists used machines and algorithms to create mesmerising and mind-bending art between the 1950s and the early 1990s. From the birth of op art to the dawn of the internet age, artists found new ways to engage the senses and play with our perception. Electric Dreams celebrates the early innovators of optical, kinetic, programmed and digital art, who pioneered a new era of immersive sensory installations and automatically-generated works.

Microperformatività in azione / Microperformativity at work
[ITA] Sebbene l'artista sia presente, il “lavoro artistico” sarà eseguito in sua assenza, da forze creative altre rispetto all’umano – più una performance nel tempo e attraverso il tempo che una mostra di oggetti nello spazio.
[ENG] Although the artist is present, the art’s work will be performed in his absence, by other than human creative forces – more a performance in and over time than an exhibition of objects in space.
Entanglement of Desert Water: on the water conflict between demands for energy transition and rights of a fragile ecosystem
The Atacama Desert is the driest in the world with a fragile and unique ecosystem, co-evolved to survive with the small natural hypersaline lagoons on the salt plains. This lithium-rich groundwater is increasingly pumped and evaporated for its lithium salts, making use of lithium as a critical raw material to service a much-needed battery-led transition away from carbon fuel, addressing the existential issue of human-induced climate change. Ultimately, this is also destroying the fragile groundw...
Reverse Contradictionary
[ENG] The result of provocative and edgy imaginations of renowned net.art pioneer Vuk Ćosić and the acclaimed collective IOCOSE, the new vocabulary - that looks at the digital sphere with irony and biting criticismis - is edited in collaboration with new media expert Vladan Joler.
[ITA] Reverse Contradictionary, frutto dell’incontro tra le fantasie provocatorie e taglienti del celebre pioniere della net.art Vuk Ćosić e dell'acclamato collettivo IOCOSE. Scritto in collaborazione con l’esperto di...
Generative Art Where the Beauty Voice Survives – Future Visions on Past Steps
Humanity & AI. The theme of this conference focuses on how to preserve the human complexity, with Generative Art and AI. Art, poetry, music, architecture, and historic cities need generative ideas for their adaptation to the deep new demands of our fast-changing time. Our field of interest is to identify these possibilities and relate the most advanced creative approaches of Generative Art and AI.
Marco Barotti & Robertina Šebjanič, Fossilized Futures
The immersive installation invites the audience to explore its story through an audiovisual experience, where the digital artwork merges with physical kinetic sculptures, transcending the poetic and scientific themes of ancient ecosystems, contemporary landscapes, and speculative futures. A multichannel soundscape weaves together audio recordings of rivers, forests, and the city, blending sonified river data with the ethereal voices of the Namur chamber choir.
More-than-Planet: Earth Gazes Back
How can we adapt to the changes that are already happening? How is the planet and its bioregions, biomes, and inhabitants sensing, seeing, and reacting to us? How can we prepare for those changes that are likely to come? What is the role of local and other-than-human knowledge, on one hand, and information acquired from space, the depths of Earth, and through satellites and remote sensing, on the other, in describing our hybrid landscapes and lifeforms?
Soft Opening Reception : Future Tense: Art, Complexity, and Uncertainty
From climate change to financial collapse, data surveillance to immigration politics, weather patterns to cultural histories, the exhibition offers artistic frameworks for studying a world where phenomena are too entwined to be observed individually.

Agenti patogeni e morfogenesi del disegno
Sui 3000 fogli in mostra, forme e motivi emergeranno e si trasformeranno in base a fattori sia abiotici che biotici di agenti applicati alla carta, senza considerare la presenza e il potenziale impatto fisiologico dei visitatori che seguono i percorsi attraverso l'installazione performativa. Il gesto di firmare tutti i pezzi individualmente e di regalarli alla fine della mostra svaluta auto-ironicamente il principio dell'autorialità individuale, quando la contemplazione e la collezione vengono s...

AICA Congress 2024 – Becoming Machine, Resisting the Artificial. Art in the Present Tense
In a world dominated by military conflicts, climate change, migration crisis, fake news, and political rearrangements, the digital ecosystem – in which AI is one among other major actors – plays a crucial role. We, volens nolens, increasingly identify ourselves with the machine, while we employ various strategies of resisting the artificial. Art is an important part of this process.
8th Computer Art Congress
From CAC.8, we propose a meeting to approach Generative AI from its multiple aspects, undoubtedly from a myriad of points of view, which will allow its inclusion in Art, Design, and Culture. We would like to create a symbolic capsule of space and time to reflect on the challenges, impacts, and scope of this new tool of knowledge, which is already modifying the processes of various human activities.
