TECHNO-ECOLOGIES. Other Approach to Cultural, Social and Ecological Sutainability
Start date: Jun 1, 2012,

The Techno-Ecologies project aims to re-approach cultural, social and ecological sustainability through artistic explorations and cultural innovation. In response to the current situation of economical, climate, social and cultural crisis, the project is aimed at developing viable solutions. Overcoming crisis requires changes, therefore the project refers to the case of Latvia (which is also the home country of RIXC) – country affected by the recent crisis to the greatest extent at the same time having undergone constant changes since the Fall of the Berlin Wall thus obtaining an important experience of “surviving”. Using Latvia as the point of departure, yet being aware that possible solutions can only be found in a trans-national cooperation, Techno-Ecologies project is devoted to building a trans-European collaboration platform encouraging artists, theorists, designers, environmental scientists, responsible entrepreneurs, technologists and activists to work together on developing creative and alternative strategies and innovative models in the name of sustainable future.Techno-Ecologies project will be stretching out from June 2012 to May 2014 consisting of 17 activities under 4 sections: 1) Workshop Series and Artistic Explorations – facilitating space for theoretical research and artistic experimentation; 2) Open Labs – for communicating ideas and workshop results to different audiences; 3) RENEW! Conference and Exhibition – facilitating venue for discussions, meetings and public presentations; and 4) Publicity Activity – for disseminating results for wider audience.The project is designed and implemented by: RIXC (Latvia), Baltan Laboratories (The Netherlands), Napon (Serbia), Ars Longa (France) and Finnish BioArt Society (Finland) together with institutional partners: Finnish Academy of Fine Arts (Finland), Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Arts Academy (Lithuania), MPLab (Art Research Lab) of Liepaja University (Latvia) and associated partners.
