V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media (NL)

The “Summer Sessions pop-up exhibition” at Ars Electronica Festival 2022 shows a selection of outcomes realized through the international exchange of emerging talents within the “Summer Sessions” network.

Inescapable Entanglement

XRE (Extended Reality Ensemble) (US), MEDIACOELI (IT)

Inescapable Entanglement is a posthumous narration of the emotional reaction to the climate change crisis. We work at the intersection of performance (Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya), AR (live climate change metrics), soundscapes and biometric data visualization of physiological audience responses. We invite the audience to collectively discover unforeseen possibilities of co-living with our planet.

And We Thought

Sineglossa (IT)

A psychedelic cooperation performed by a human being and a neural language model producing lysergic visions: texts, videos and sounds created by combining their efforts. A relationship that sheds a new light on possible similarities emerging between natural and artificial intelligences, on the way our minds work and on new forms of dialogue between living and non-living creatures.

Coded Biophilia & Un Suono in Estinzione

Umanesimo Artificiale (IT)

From bio-design to marine ecology, sound art and creative coding, Umanesimo Artificiale projects are a celebration of bits and atoms.

NUBIA — Metaverse Platform / INTRONS

ESPRONCEDA — Institute of Art and Culture (ES)

INTRONS is a proposal to solve the human and natural presence in virtual spaces or metaverses. It starts with a genesis collection of 1,500 dynamic, generative NFTs that contain the ability to store and represent 15 traits from their owner’s genome. The project represents an evolution in the representation of reality, in which biotechnology is put at the service of the artist’s gaze.
