OF 2019: GREEN, POST-HUMAN AND AI
The 4th Open Fields conference on Artistic Research, Science and  
Technologies and

RIXC Art Science Festival 2019
July 4 – 7, 2019, Riga

Venue: the National Museum of Art of Latvia

http://festival2019.rixc.org

This year's RIXC Art Science Festival 2019 is centered on the theme of  
green, providing a cross-disciplinary platform for the discussions and  
artistic interventions exploring one of the most pervasive and  
broadest topics of our times. The festival will feature the “GREEN”  
exhibition opening, taking place in the National Museum of Art, and  
the 4th OPEN FIELDS conference on “Green, Post-Human, and AI”.

“Are we in control of ‘green’? .. Green, symbolically associated with  
the ‘natural’ and employed to hyper-compensate for what humans have  
lost, needs to be addressed as the most anthropocentric of all  
colours, in its inherent ambiguity between alleged naturalness and  
artificiality. .. Despite its broadly positive connotations, ‘green’  
incrementally serves the uncritical desire of fetishistic and  
techno-romantic naturalization in order to metaphorically  
hyper-compensate for indeed material systemic biopolitics consisting  
of the increasing technical manipulation and exploitation of living  
systems, ecologies, and the biosphere at large.”  (Jens Hauser,  
“Green” concept, 2018)
