Climate Change

Breathe to flow

Anna Nacher

The way we, as humans, participate in the vibrational fields and flows of energy of the Planet Earth is embodied practice, even if the process often remains somewhat mysterious, unnoticed or unacknowledged. This workshop will explore how a human vocalization, which is nothing else than amplified and conscious breathing, can become a practice of inquiry into the planetary water cycle.

Un suono in estinzione

NEUNAU (IT)

Un suono in estinzione is an art & science project aimed at monitoring climate change implications on alpine glaciers through an artistic exploration.

ENTU

Emanuele Balia (IT), Fabrizio Casti (IT), Sandro Mungianu (IT)

Researchers and artists will collaborate to return open data in the form of music, images and words, through the use of AI algorithms, to offer a highly perceptive, visual and sound return of the effect that pollution and development, understood as pressure anthropogenic, have on wind, rain and the environment.

Futurelab Day: Morning Inspirations

Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)

Climate change, migration, and digital transformation. We all face major challenges - and there are no simple solutions to the world's big problems. Technological progress in our society must therefore be entirely in the interest of the planet and humanity.

Post-Natural Prostheses

Filippo Nassetti (IT), Vincenzo Reale (IT)

Through their collaboration, Filippo Nassetti and Vincenzo Reale are changing the notion of prostheses—from medical devices to customised fashion products — by radically rethinking the relationship between technology in the form of wearable objects and the human body. In the context of the current pandemic, their attention has been drawn to the urgent need for respiratory prostheses.
