FEMINIST CLIMATE CHANGE: Beyond the Binary

With the selected works, we aim to converge the issues in feminism with environmentalism. By framing the exhibition in this way, it is our hope to reinvigorate the eco-feminism that emerged in the 70s and was ignored for much too long. In this particular context, at the Ars Electronica festival in Linz, we address the local and transnational issues of feminism in media arts and the global issue of climate change.

You are President

You are President is a game in which the player is the head of government of a fictitious country. His decisions have an impact on six factors: diplomacy, the economy, the budget, popularity among the citizenry, the environment, and the armed forces. The object of the game is to successfully take actions to effectively manage the affairs of state. All of these factors are reflected by scores, which the player’s various decisions can influence either positively or negatively.

Hybrid Art – Glaciator

The Glaciator robot helps glaciers to grow again by compacting and crystallizing the snow into firn (the intermediate state between snow and glacier ice), thus accelerating the ice formation process. This means the glaciers can grow the ice mass again, which they have lost due to climate change.

The Plastic Lab

Washed up on our coasts in obvious and clearly visible form, the plastic pollution spectacle blatantly emerging on our beaches is only the prelude to the greater story that has unfolded further away in the world’s oceans, yet mostly originating from where we stand: the land. For more than fifty years, the global production and consumption of plastics has continued to rise.

Experts Tour: Botanical Intelligence

There is no artificial intelligence without natural intelligence! Are human beings the sole owners of intelligence? The Expert Tour “Botanical Intelligence” poses the exciting question: Where are the limits of our knowledge? And what has this to do with our environment and our perception? We focus on plants, the actual rulers of this world. The range of topics we touch in this guided tour ranges from biodiversity to botanical sensory life to plant sex.
