Dreams Travel Wondrous Wires

Contaminated Culture
Aidelen Montoya
Through historical Eurocentric and misogynistic views, there has been a separation of craft and art.

The Sense of Wonder
Christine Marie
Analog versus digital. Nature versus destruction. The battle unfolds on a giant cube, where analog devices casting natural landscapes compete with intermittent AI-powered digital projections of disaster. The convergence and clash of these visuals invite reflection on the fragility of our environment and the profound consequences of unchecked technological advancement.

Vision Of Vocation: Finding Rest

Useful Symbiont
Claudia Mancuso D'Auria
We believe we shape the world of objects - but our objects shape us. We are symbionts. These things carry, collect and present. Their role is ambiguous, residing between art and science, data and display. Collect, grow, feed, perform: responsive in the world.
Tangled Gravities
Shawn Chiki
Tangled Gravities is a public sculpture / interactive mixed reality worldbuilding exercise, where people with radically different gravities coexist innocently, traversing a playground of AI-generated nonsense.
