The symposium will feature presentations and discussion panels with artists from Plants_Intelligence and Resonances of Nature, alongside a diverse lineup of international contributors from Europe and beyond — from the Nordic countries and Canada to South America and Asia — who bring fresh global perspectives to the dialogue between art, science, and nature.
It will also include presentations by this year’s RIXC Field Residency artists and a guided tour of their new works in the Symbiotic Cities AR exhibition on the SensUs platform, co-curated and co-produced by RIXC in partnership with NAIA (Karlsruhe) and Zone Sound Creative (Taipei).In addition, a Baltic–Nordic extended meeting will take place, contributing to the launch of the new Symbiotic Futures network by RIXC and its partners — Maajaam (Estonia), Isop (Denmark), SENT (Norway), Lorna (Iceland), and Institutio Media (Lithuania). This initiative will further develop the extended SensUs Art XR platform, now joined by SLOlab (Toronto), KUBU (Finland), and other new partners, culminating next year in a joint XR exhibition.
