This year's RIXC Art Science festival with the title Symbiotic Sense(s), positioned at the intersection of symbiotic art aesthetics and visionary scientific paradigms, aims to embrace symbiotic thinking, inspiring cultural conversations on collaboration and fostering collective action towards a more symbiotic future. The festival will explore ideas such as: Sensing machines and artificial life, Extended cognition and Externally sensory system, Symbiotic Sciences and Collective intelligence as well as Nature cultures and Naturally-artificial environments.
,
Focusing on symbiotic senses as a key perspective, this year’s festival will explore its relation to extended cognition and collective intelligence ideas, calling for the urgent need for new visions, artistic and utopian projects in cultural evolution. The idea posits that symbiosis defines our existence, highlighting our complete interdependence on our environment and planetary system.
