More-than-Planet
More-than-Planet (MtP) addresses a crisis of planetary imaginary and explores how transdisciplinary cultures can contribute to a new understanding and vision for our environment on a planetary level.
With More-than-Planet, Platform Europe contributes to European cultural-environmental literacy and brings together planetary perspectives and alternative educational approaches. Through a ‘comparative planetary imaginary’, the project empowers European research, innovation, and cultural communities with novel insights, skills, tools, and concrete use-cases. These imaginaries are developed in transdisciplinary, collaborative, art-driven innovation programmes that utilize critical and creative tools to address the environmental state of emergency.
More-than-Planet aims to have long-term impact by developing a pathway toward the framework of European Cultural Outer-Space Activities (ECOSA). It builds on decades of individual efforts by many artists, scientists and cultural organizations who have enabled artistic production focusing on outer space.
The outcomes, among them a commission for a space themed work for the DeepSpace realized by Menche Lab, are disseminated as novel environmental narratives in the context of the Ars Electronica Festival.
More-than-Planet continues the work we started in spaceEU.
