At the points of interconnection
As the world becomes increasingly digitized, Aavistus Festival highlights the significance of 'soft values' such as empathy, compassion, and community. Artistic presentations delve into how these values are evolving in the context of posthumanism, technology, globalization, and virtual interconnectedness.
What does it mean to be an outside viewer or actively engage with the event around us? Sometimes taking a step back from the eye of the storm helps us develop new perspectives. This approach prompts us to reflect on the difference between observation and immersive participation in the tumultuous world that demands both individual agency and collective action.
The Anthropocene marks a pivotal moment where human activity has sculpted Earth’s geology and ecosystems. Climate crisis and ecological imbalances beckon for a holistic perspective on transformation and evolving ecologies. Aavistus Festival becomes a canvas for these ecological narratives, inviting participants to engage with the profound changes reshaping the planet. Visual and auditory experiences serve as a powerful conduit for conveying the urgency of safeguarding our environment.
In the process of unfolding events, our perception changes. The present moment slows down, the past is seen through a new lens and the future is reachable somewhere behind the event horizon.
