Science, Art & Design: New Alliances of Nature, Technology, and Human Imagination

//Please arrive at the Festival Kiosk 10 minutes before the tour to collect your headphones.\\

How can science, design, and art come together to open up new perspectives and lead to innovative solutions? This guided tour presents projects at the intersection of research, aesthetics, and design that rethink our relationship with knowledge, nature, and technology.

We see how the molecular structure of the world is transformed into art. AI turns music into images, a creature composes music from movement and ambient sounds, and microbes grow into virtual landscapes. Meanwhile, trees become part of our democracy and vote on political issues, AI agents take over processes of social negotiation, and liquid metal becomes a sentient interface between human and machine. Finally, augmented reality creates poetic visions of a future in which we communicate with plants, animals, or algorithms.
