What will our future look like when we succeed in the great transformation and have overcome the various crises of our time? What forms of cooperation will we strive for in the future and what challenges will this entail. This will be questioned in a presentation by Irina Nalis from the perspective of digital humanism. In her workshop, scenarios and possibilities will be worked out to prepare for future forms of cooperation, working images, fields of activity between art, science and research. How can knowledge from art, technology and nature be thought together and how can we thereby explore new ways of art and research? The imagination of a good future should and can help us to keep hope and to work towards a common goal. Günter Seyfried's workshop will bring together ecological and artistic aspects. Bioart and the Do It Yourself movement show exemplarily that we have our future in our hands and everyone has the right to shape it.
Together with Irina Nalis and Günter Seyfried we will develop an idea of the role Digital Humanism and Bioart as well as the DIY Organic Movement can play in answering these questions.
