In an era of exponential technological developments creatives, scientists, and innovators are zealously rethinking natural and artificial resources by embracing emerging technologies. The WIP Festival looks at this Brave New Humanity that explores how our sensorial, analogue selves fabricate new civilizations and augmented worlds that are simultaneously close and far from the “natural”, as D. Norman argues in “The Invisible Computer” (1998).
The emerging conceptual clusters – Raw, Mechanos, Transience and Play – include projects that act as critical commentaries, inquiries, and aestheticisms on the shifting environmental and human conditions.
RAW presents projects that reveal unfamiliar relations and reciprocations between natural resources and technology, critically commenting on contemporary tensions, and showing the shifting environmental and human conditions through the looking glass.
MECHANOS brings to the foreground ongoing research projects that utilize cutting-edge tools and processes for creative and technical purposes. The tangible prototypes and emerging applications presented shift the human-serving epicentre of technology to a human-environmental direction, sensitive to the complexities of the natural world.
TRANSIENCE includes projects looking into the post-human condition, narrating – or even actualizing – augmented and imaginary realities through interfaces and virtual spaces.
PLAY invites you to a meta-arcade, exploring the digital revolution’s disruptions as interactive reprojections and gamification.
