Over three days, Driving the Human’s 21 concepts took over the spaces of radialsystem, exploring entanglements between technology and nature, artificial intelligence, circular economy, new modes of production, Indigenous knowledges, and more-than-human perspectives from the bacterial to the interplanetary. Together, these proposals reinforced perspectives in which collaboration and interdependency become essential, determining factors for life and survival on our planet.
To explore the many dimensions of these powerful ideas, visitors could meet the authors of the 21 concepts, as well as several international experts that propose in-depth explorations of the narratives and approaches brought together on this occasion. The invited experts offered unexpected, enriching perspectives on the festival’s themes, which ranged from AI to biomaterials, and from circular economy to social anthropology. Additionally, three projects from Future Architecture Platform presented their research.
