The Movement Lab presents: the Artificial environments / environmental Intelligence Festival
The Ae/eI Festival features work-in-progress installations and performances in the Movement Lab every day during the week of February 21-28, all of which are free and open to the public. It is guided by the question, what happens when we close the loop on the constructed binary of nature and technology?
Artificial environments / environmental Intelligence Festival Night 8:
The Blue Zone
Presented as a companion piece to Dreaming Animals, to close out the Ae/eI Festival with an evening at sea.
The Blue Zone created by Abby Mankin, Liz Radway, and Katie Sponenburg
Wednesday, February 28th | 7:30pm
In a performative exhibition of our own individual routes to seek fulfillment in an evolutionary world which does not offer that, we aim to return to the instincts of what humanity is made for. Rather than focusing on future intelligent systems that are evolving now, we aim to look backwards, tracing our own biological roots back to our original home: the sea.
Doors open at 7:00 PM and showing begins at 7:30 PM.
Capacity in the lab is capped at 40 audience members. Attendees who have RSVP'd before the event will have priority, and admission will be determined on a first come first serve basis on arrival. If you RSVP before the event but you arrive late, we reserve the right to give your spot to someone on the waitlist.
Attendees who have not RSVP'd will be put on a standby waitlist if they arrive in-person before the event.
