The More-than-Planet project seeks to redefine our 
understanding and representation of the environment on the 
level of the planet as a conceptual whole. With 75% of the 
planet’s land surface experiencing measurable human 
pressure, the way people envision the planet significantly 
impacts the environment itself. Such environmental 
imaginaries are shaped by underlying concepts, value 
systems, visual cultures and technologies, which are not 
neutral or inclusive of society. Through collaboration with 
artists, critical thinkers, and experts from cultural, 
environmental, and outer space institutions, the project 
aims to address the crisis surrounding our planetary 
imaginary and foster a more inclusive and accurate portrayal 
of the planet.


  >  Theme Exhibition : (Co)Owning More-than-Truth

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/theme-exhibition/ 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/theme-exhibition/>

Developed within the framework of the 
More-than-Planet-project,this year’s theme exhibition, 
/(Co)Owning More-than-Truth/, calls for a complete shift in 
our worldviews, relationships, language, consciousness, and 
narratives across the planet. /(Co)Owning More-than-Truth/ 
views truth as a pharmacon to navigate current topologies of 
the knowledge structure, to map them out as dynamic and 
multifaceted entities and to accommodate the truths that are 
drifting and shifting. On display are artworks gliding from 
truths unearthed from the landscapes, ecosystems and cycle 
of life in and out of Earth to ground truths of collecting 
data and processing information to challenge existing 
regimes of knowledge. Deviating from the quandary of what 
the truth is and to whom we delegate the right to the truth, 
/(Co)Owning More-than-Truth/ offers a space where 
interdisciplinary practices, approaches, and narratives are 
pluralized to unearth a more profound and inclusive 
understanding of being together, forging a path towards a 
consensus of collective efforts for the crises we face as a 
whole.

*> MORE-THAN-PLANET LAB*

Location: POSTCITY Bunker

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/more-than-planet-lab/ 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/more-than-planet-lab/>

Located at the heart of the theme exhibition in the POSTCITY 
bunker, the More-than-Planet Lab is not only hosting the 
workshops but also proposing a whole range of documentation 
from the partners activities in the project and more. We 
offer an experimental space teeming with living traces, 
narratives and imageries to carve a new lens into how we 
perceive the planet. Through exploring ongoing projects and 
participating in workshops, we aspire to deepen our 
understanding of the planet and raise collective awareness 
of urgent planetary issues.

*> CONFERENCE: (Un)Earthing the Truth: Ownership and 
Narratives about the Planet. ***

*Friday Sept 8th, 11:00 - 18:00*

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/unearthing-the-truth/ 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/unearthing-the-truth/>

On Friday it's More-than-Planet day, on which the central 
question is 'Who owns the planet?' in *(Un)Earthing the 
Truth: Ownership and Narratives about the Planet *we delve 
into the notion of ownership in relation to the planet, 
questioning their complicated relationship. The day will 
also be dedicated to discussion and talks on topics 
addressing environmental concerns, planetary imaginaries, 
and related environing technologies. In debates and keynotes 
traversing the deep seas and the stratospheric skies, we 
reshape our understanding of ownership, recontextualizing 
the dominant economic systems and power hierarchies that 
have allowed us to establish proprietary relationships with 
our planet. Guests from a wide array of disciplines, 
encompassing artists, scientists, scholars, and economists, 
will discuss to challenge the narratives that mold our 
comprehension of ecological concerns.

*> WORKSHOPS***

*Registration Required *(follow the links)

Meeting Point: POSTCITY, We Guide You Meeting Point (First 
Floor)

Location: POSTCITY, More-than-Planet Lab

** Planetary Public Stack***

Wednesday Sept 6th, 14:00 - 16:00

led by Miha Turšič, Waag Futurelab (SI/NL)

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/planetary-public-stack/?occurrence=2023-09-06 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/planetary-public-stack/?occurrence=2023-09-06>

This project builds on an earlier project, the Public Stack, 
which is based on the idea that all these technological 
layers should be developed from public values and takes a 
critical look at our use of technology. It builds from 
conceptual foundations of the comparative planetary 
imaginaries (matterings, concepts, cosmologies) toward 
required capacities (technologies, tools, data, skills) and 
the development of concrete new cases of public imaginaries. 
The participants will work on the technologies and skills to 
develop collaborative and art-driven innovation approaches 
with critical and creative tools for addressing today’s 
environmental troubles.

** Systemic Change in the Times of Polycrisis*

Thursday Sept 7th, 14:00 - 15:30

led by Antti Tenetz (FI), Tero Toivanen (FI)

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/systemic-change-polycrisis/?occurrence=2023-09-07 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/systemic-change-polycrisis/?occurrence=2023-09-07>

The workshop "Systemic Change in Times of Polycrisis" 
explores how we can broaden our horizons and find 
sustainable solutions to the polycrisis caused by ecological 
emergency. It focuses on radical change in industrial 
societies. The perspectives of polycrisis will be linked to 
local examples that will be explored through the work of 
artists, researchers and activists. The discussion shifts 
from the global to the national/regional and back to the 
planetary level and is linked to selected art projects in 
the exhibition and to More than Planet art and science 
activities in Pyhäsalmi, the deepest metal mine in Europe 
and the Oulanka Research Station located in the middle of 
the Northern Boreal Forest, the world's largest terrestrial 
biome.

** Planetary mattering***

Saturday Sept 9th, 14:00 - 15:30

led by Miha Turšič, Waag Futurelab (SI/NL)

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/planetary-mattering/?occurrence=2023-09-09 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/planetary-mattering/?occurrence=2023-09-09>

It matters which planet we portray, and which one we do not. 
In this workshop, participants will learn about ways of 
mattering. With this term, we refer to the images, interests 
and facts that shape our image of the planet, and, in turn, 
how the solidification of these imaginaries determines the 
way we talk about the Earth and the decisions we make. 
Mattering looks at both the matter itself and its 
significance. In short, we research the drivers behind how 
we see our environment.

*> EXPERT TOURS***

*Registration Required *(follow the links)

3 tours in the themed exhibition focusing each time on 
specific artworks

** Mattering by **Miha Turšič (SI) ***

Wednesday Sept 6th, 10:30 - 12:00

Meeting Point: POSTCITY, We Guide You Meeting Point (First 
Floor)

Location: POSTCITY, More-than-Planet Lab

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/expert-tour-miha-tursic/ 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/expert-tour-miha-tursic/>

‘Matter’ can be understood as both a noun and a verb: it is 
about material and about caring. Mattering is the 
inseparable interplay between creating facts and values, and 
the cultural and societal structures that emerge from this 
dynamic relationship. The way in which we imagine our planet 
influences our direct environment and therefore matters 
greatly. What matters to us depends on a multiplicity of 
different things: locality, ethics, morals, values. 
Understanding the diversity of drivers behind environmental 
concepts will contribute to better accessibility of 
environmental knowledge. This tour will guide you through a 
varied selection of different artworks that will reflect on 
matters-of-fact, matters-of-concern, matters-of-care, and 
matters-of-hope.

** Terraforming Earth - Decolonizing Space by Annick Bureaud 
(FR)*

Thursday Sept 7th, 12:00 - 13:30

Meeting Point: POSTCITY, We Guide You Meeting Point (First 
Floor)

Location: POSTCITY, More-than-Planet Lab

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/expert-tour-annick-bureaud/ 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/expert-tour-annick-bureaud/>

Terraformation is used to describe the process by which we 
would like to transform other planets to make them habitable 
for us. Colonisation has become the synonym to appropriation 
and exploitation. We'll consider those two notions to 
discuss how they could be useful in looking back at Earth 
and our endeavours in Space today through a selection of 
three artworks from the exhibition.

** Mikro Makro byMarko Peljhan and Uros Veber (SI)*

Saturday Sept 9th, 11:00 - 12:30

Meeting Point: POSTCITY, We Guide You Meeting Point (First 
Floor)

Location: POSTCITY, More-than-Planet Lab

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/expert-tour-mikro-makro/ 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/expert-tour-mikro-makro/>

MIKRO-MAKRO, from observation to orientation, led by Marko 
Peljhan (SI) and Uroš Veber (SI) will be focused on the 
works that could be understood as systems observatories and 
will attempt to synthesize certain common topical vectors 
present in all of them.

*> DEEP SPACE 8K***

*Ars Electronica More-than-Planet Commission: Connected – 
how the world is more than the sum of its parts***


    by Jörg Menche (DE), Sebastian Pirch (AT), Norbert Unfug
    (AT), Felix Müller (DE), Christiane V. R. Hütter (AT)

Wednesday, Sep. 6^th , 18:30 - 19:00

Location: Ars Electronica Center/DEEP SPACE 8K

https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/connected/ 
<https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/events/connected/>

The project /Connected–how the world is more than the sum of 
its parts/ unveils the multifaceted nature of the Earth’s 
systems, unraveling a system’s underlying structural 
principles, from natural phenomena to human creations.

Through a transformative journey, visitors are invited in a 
captivating exploration of the Earth’s diverse biomes, 
guided by the perspective of three avatars: a fox exploring 
solid land, a turtle diving through open water and a bird 
discovering the seemingly endless sky.

Through the avatar’s eyes, visitors experience macro to 
micro systems, from animal swarms, networks of flora, 
sprawling infrastructures, to the vast expanse of the world 
wide web and the human organism itself as a complex network 
of biomolecular interactions.

In a synergistic fusion of scientific inquiry and artistic 
expression, /Connected/ invites the audience to embrace the 
beauty of Earth’s interconnected fabric, aiming to foster 
understanding of the intricacies that govern our world.

/More-Than-Planet/is an international cooperation project 
between Stichting Waag Society (NL), lead partner, Zavod 
Projekt Atol (SI), Ars Electronica (AT), Digital Art 
International ART2M/Makery (FR), Northern Photographic 
Centre (FI) and Leonardo/Olats (FR).

Co-funded by the European Union (programme Creative Europe)
