In our contemporary relationship with nature, plants and technical systems are intertwined, transforming both the environment and our self-awareness. The works featured in this project explore that liminal condition, displacing the centrality of the anthropocentric voice to broader forms in order to better understand our surroundings and ourselves. This generates new interactions between art, nature and technology, as well as giving rise to other regimes of perception.
Far from viewing nature as a passive background, the curatorial proposal conceives it as an active system of relations, able to perceive, adapt and respond to the transformations of its surroundings. In a context marked by the ecological crisis and the growing technification of the world, the biological and the computational cease to operate as separate realms and become interdependent systems in which sensors, infrastructures and living organisms share the same fabric of interaction.
From this perspective, the curatorial proposal presents a displacement: it’s no longer a question of only thinking about how technology transforms nature, but also of how nature incorporates and reconfigures those systems in its own processes of adaptation. This shift implies a reconsideration of self-awareness, understood not as an exclusively human quality but as a distributed network of responses, perceptions and relations.
The room becomes a living landscape in which the pieces form an integral part of an ecosystem in resonance. An experiential space that invites us to rethink our relationship with nature from the perspective of our bodies. Rather than offering answers, the exhibition proposes a change of sensibility: an invitation to live in a world in which perception, matter and life are understood as interconnected, open processes in constant transformation.
