PostSENSORIUM

RIXC Art Science Festival 2021
and Open Fields Conference
September 23–25, 2021, Riga, Latvia (Virtual)

https://festival2021.rixc.org/

PostSensorium, this year's RIXC Art Science Festival and the Fourth Open 
Fields Conference (virtual), will take place from September 23-25, 2021, 
in Riga, Latvia, exploring the immensity of our virtual and real life 
challenges that demand a renewed focus on sensory perception and 
embodied experiences.

PostSensorium festival aims to provide a platform for artistic 
interventions and critical discussions on 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”...


* onsite

The PostSensorium Festival Program will feature the Opening of the 
PostSensorium Exhibition (the only 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.

Exhibition will take place in the National Library of Latvia and RIXC 
Gallery in Riga, Latvia, from September 24 untill November 12, 2021.

* online

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 art practices creating new immersive experiences.

The Conference will take place Virtually with both the speakers and the 
visitors in Zoom room/s. The Keynote Talks will take place in the Main 
Room, while Parallel Sessions – in two breakout rooms. Also other 
festival events (exhibition opening, screening events, concert) will be

* Concept and Themes

“We like to imagine ourselves as rational beings who think and speak, 
yet to live means first and foremost to look, taste, feel, and smell the 
world around us.” (Emanuele Coccia, 2016)

The human sensorium has always been mediated. “Without the 'medium' of 
air or water, the anthropoid ear finds it impossible to hear” (Caroline 
A Jones, 2006). But with more recent enhancement of virtual and sensing 
technologies, and intensification of its daily use, our 'sensoriums' 
have become more mediated than ever before. Recent conditions of 
navigating our lives between the virtual and the real, demand a renewed 
focus on sensory perception and embodied experience.

Earlier cyberfiction referred to the body as a “meat machine”, the only 
function of which is to facilitate the activity of the brain, so – to 
think; while our thinking separated from the body was considered to be a 
purely transcendental act. Even if contemporary neuroscience 
increasingly confirms that our “will'' is an effect of basic autonomic 
neurons (hence, 'sensing'') we keep designing our machines, including 
the intelligent ones, “to foster the fantasy that bodies are separate 
from the minds that 'control' them”. Moreover, as an art historian, 
curator and author Caroline A Jones puts it that “embodied experience 
through senses (and their necessary and unnecessary mediations) is how 
we think”. (Jones, 2006)

According to contemporary philosopher Emanuele Coccia “our existence – 
whether sleeping or awake – is a relentless stream of the sensible…”, 
yet the communication of two – body and mind, imaginative and physical, 
natural and artificial – needs a medium, as “the things are not the 
sensible themselves, they need [a media] to become visible, tangible, 
audible”. (Coccia, 2016)

PostSensorium festival will take on the earlier RIXC studies on 
“techno-ecological perspective” aiming to open it up towards broader 
discussion on “post-sensorium conditions”; whereby asking which mediums, 
technologies or practices are better than others served to reveal our 
sensorium – as mediated being and extended reality.

The festival gathers together more than 80 artists, theorists, and 
researchers who are in a forefront of exploring the “post-sensorium 
conditions”, critically interrogate transformative potential of arts, 
and use virtual sensing tools for creating new embodied and immersive 
experiences in which sensible and actual, embodied and imaginative, 
natural and artificially intelligent are in a continuous interaction..

* Open Fields 2021 Conference (Riga/Virtual)

We received 70 proposals for the PostSensorium conference by artists, 
PhD students and researchers from different fields, who explore extended 
reality applications, virtual sensing tools and other immersive 
technologies, use data, AI and ML algorithms; collaborate with science, 
biology, ecology and other disciplines; create and critically engage 
with embodied experiences, immersive environments, and experiential 
practices.

Topics:

- Embodied Experiences and Extended Reality
- Virtual Sensing, Photogrammetry and Experiential Art Practices
- Sensory Perception and Sonic Immersions
- Intelligent Ecosystems and More-Than-Human Conditions
- Ecologies Beyond Green - Light, Energies and Fields
- Living Technologies - Artificial Intelligence & Biopolitics

* Exhibition

The virtual program will be connected to the exhibition, the main 
physical event of this year's festival that will take place until 
November 12, 2021 in the National Library of Latvia and RIXC Gallery,

* About: GREEN Revisited and Renewable Futures

Open Fields is the annual RIXC Art Science festival conference based in 
Riga and organized in collaboration with its academic partner – MPLab 
(Art Research Lab) of Liepaja University, Liepaja, Latvia. Open Fields 
is a leading Baltic Nordic platform for critical discussions on emerging 
discourses and novelty art forms in the field of artistic research, 
digital media, art and science, and techno-ecologies.


Open Fields is a part of Renewable Futures, a larger international 
network and biannual traveling conference series in the Baltic Sea and 
North European region that aim to invent new avenues for more 
sustainable and imaginative future developments, shaping new contact 
zones between traditionally separated domains – art and science, 
academic research and independent creative practices, sustainable 
businesses and social engagement in the 21st century. The first 
Renewable Futures conference took place in Riga (2015), followed by two 
next editions in Eindhoven (2017) and Helsinki (2018).

This year, the fourth Renewable Futures conference will take place in 
Oslo, in November 4-6, 2021, exploring the topics related to “Futures of 
Living Technologies”.
Currently, the Call for Renewable Futures 2021 
“Living Technologies” virtual conference in Oslo is also open with the 
deadline – September 6, 2021. 
More info and submission from is 
available here: https://feltproject.no

This year's Open Fields 2021 “PostSensorium” (virtual) conference in 
Riga, and Renewable Futures 2021 “Living Technologies” (virtual) 
conference in Oslo, are manifesting a closing phase of “Green Revisited 
- Encountering Emerging Naturecultures (GREEN)” Creative Europe's 
cooperation project. The GREEN project aims to develop a European 
platform that shapes and promotes an emerging “naturecultures” paradigm 
via the arts and enhances criticality by investigating the pervasive 
greenness trope.
