Group Exhibition
more-than-human features ten contemporary artists who explore human-natural relationships through technology, promoting new ways of understanding the natural world. Each interactive artwork uses digital media to challenge, excite, and shift our collective understanding of the more-than-human mind. Inspired by an ethics of inclusion that acknowledges the rights of nature, the exhibition questions what it means to be alive and have agency.
