SensUs. Augmented Nature-Cultures
Curated by Daria Mille, Rasa Smite and Raitis Smits. Artists: Anna Manankina, Jung Eun Lee, Isabella Münnich, Sabīne Šnē, Jurģis Peters, Rihards Vītols, Zane Zelmene.
SensUs is an Augmented Reality exhibition that makes visible the invisible processes happening in the urban nature of Karlsruhe. SensUs artists have created virtual artworks interrogating the symbiotic relationship between biological and social processes, tracing historical and contemporary developments of nature–culture, and visualising scientific, ecological and social data.
The SensUs virtual artworks are geo-located in specific urban sites (such as museums of natural history, botanical gardens, city forests, or national parks) where nature–culture manifests in its most intertwined and symbiotic way. By focusing on a more-than-human perspective, the SensUs exhibition challenges the previously dominant anthropocentric view of our environment and envisages the future of Karlsruhe as an inclusive and sustainable nature-culture city.
