ABOUT

RIXC Festival ECODATA exhibition from RIXC on Vimeo.

The RIXC Art-Science Festival: ECODATA aim is to explore the 'ecosystematic perspective'. More than just rising awareness that living organisms are highly interdependent on each other and their environments, this year's festival edition aims to reveal a web of connections that interweaves biological, social and techno-scientific systems, living and digital data, artistic and scientific approaches.

ECODATA exhibition is the central axis of the festival, which forms the rest of the program, made in collaboration with Ecodata–Ecomedia–Ecoaesthetics" research group led by researcher and theorist Yvonne VOLKART, (Basel, Switzerland). The purpose of this exhibition is to bridge the gap between technological and ecological as well as to incorporate technological issues into ecological art. This year’s exhibition will feature twenty artworks by internationally acknowledged artists working in the field of media art, science and ecology.

FEEDBACK

I just wanted to write and tell you how thrilled I am to see my artworks in the Ecodata exhibition. Also I very much enjoyed attending as many panels as I could at the festival. Very important discussions and very inspiring artworks!
