OCEANS IN TRANSFORMATION

John Palmesino(CH/UK) and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog(FI)—Territorial Agency (INT)

We explore how Oceans in Transformation brings together a multiplicity of conceptualizations of the ocean. The ocean is a sensorium: it records the transformations of the Earth in its complex dynamics, and it inscribes back into the forms of life its own cycles. This workshop explores new ways to connect the multiple ways of knowing and studying the ocean as it is entering a new phase of its history—the Anthropocene.

Globale Erwärmung und menschliche Verantwortung

Energie ist die Grundlage für Leben. Kleinste Organismen brauchen sie ebenso wie wir Menschen. Doch nicht nur unser Körper muss mit Energie versorgt werden, sondern auch unsere gesamte Gesellschaft: etwa unsere Elektrogeräte, unsere Transportmittel oder unsere Industrie. Und woher kommt die Energie?

STUDIOTOPIA Journeys

Neben den wissenschaftlichen, technologischen und wirtschaftlichen Aspekten konzentriert sich das European ARTificial Intelligence Lab stark auf die rechtlichen, kulturellen, pädagogischen und ethischen Dimensionen der Künstlichen Intelligenz. Dies ermöglicht ein ganzheitliches Modell, das menschliche Werte und elementare Fragen, was KI tun oder nicht tun sollte, ebenso berücksichtigt wie die Frage, wie und von wem KI-Systeme entwickelt, eingesetzt, genutzt und überwacht werden.
