Convocatòria Ecoss, ecosistemes de l’inesperat

ECOSS, ecosystems of the unexpected is a project for the activation of singular events of digital culture #fem, promoted by the Koniclab association.

Challenging conventional narratives, ECOSS presents an interactive approach to new artistic languages and expanding territories of cultural transversality, where technology is presented as a way to reinvent the arts and our relationship with others, human and non-human, and with the environment around us.

The projects hosted by the d'ECOSS cycle, in the framework of the exhibition The tradition that runs through us, were selected in the call for research and experimentation of Intermedia / Vida and Art Inter-espècies Projects, which show us a post-anthropocentric vision of the concept of Nature, in the context of tradition crossed by the logics of contemporaneity, which investigate the question of what are the critical revisions of tradition that contemporary views demand today.
