RIXC Art Science Festival: PostSENSORIUM

PostSensorium festival aims to provide a platform for artistic interventions and critical discussions on the 21st-century's virtual sensing technologies, science and aesthetics, reconsidering the relations between the actual and virtual, organic and artificial, natural and techno-social, human and “more-than-human”...

The PostSensorium Festival Program will feature the Opening of the PostSensorium Exhibition (the main physical event of this year's festival) showing the works by internationally recognized artists who are at the forefront interrogating novel sensing tools, immersive technologies, and experiential art practices.

The PostSensorium Virtual Program will consist of the annual Open Fields Conference, online WebVR exhibition and Screening Program by young and emerging artists, Live Concert and Performances from RIXC Greenhouse, Artist Talks and outstanding Keynote Lectures discussing the contemporary mediums, artistic practices and novel tools for exploring human and “more-than-human” sensoriums, AI and aesthetics of the 21st century, and creating new immersive experiences.
