ABOUT

The SPLINTERED REALITIES Conference is structured into a three-day 
program, with each “Splinter Session” focusing on a different area or 
field, identifying the key “splinters” and discussing how to make 
tentative steps towards reconstituting our realities, everyday lives, 
and communication with each other, now and into the future.

We want to meet in Riga and online, to talk, eat, play – and probably 
also cry – together, and imagine what it would take to build a world in 
which wars like the current Russian onslaught on Ukraine would become 
impossible. We choose such a perspective because our realism is neither 
that of military strategists, nor that of cultural pessimists. Instead, 
ours is a desperate realism – perhaps in the spirit of Guattari's 
ecososphy, Latour's terrestrial coexistence, or Haraway's question of 
how to live on a damaged Earth.. Media ubiquity, pandemic concerns, and 
social divisions have landed us in a world of splintered realities – to 
live with? to heal? to care? to learn from nature?

We don't expect to provide answers. Instead, the conference aims to be a 
forum for revising the “splinters” of our contemporary condition – 
affected moreover by ongoing military conflict.
The Conference will also look at creative practices that deal with 
“splintered realities”, showcasing what art can do and discussing what 
kind of (extended reality) technologies can help us to become more open 
(and sensitive) towards each other and our environments.

Conference Topics:

Deep Europe, Entangled Histories and Cultivated Futures,
New Ecosophies and Extended Realities
NatureCultures, Eco-feminism and Socio-Ecological Justice,
More-than-Human and Naturally/Artificial IntIntelligences
Techno-Ecological Sensoriums, AI/ML and Biological Systems,
Technologies of Ecological and Care, Terrestrial Co-existence, and 
Beyond Green

[Splinter Session 01: Deep Europe] on Day 1 (6 Oct)
“in the rear-view mirror of history”

Day 1 will focus on the current situation in Europe, with a focus on the 
Baltics and Central and Eastern Europe, discussing and evaluating the 
“splinters” from the perspective of the past. Day 1 will feature the 
“Syndicate Meeting”, and artist presentations hosted by MPLab in 
Liepaja, which will be European Capital of Culture in 2027.
The “Syndicate” was an extended, informal network of artists and 
cultural practitioners based in Europe and beyond, that was active in 
the second half of the 1990s. Besides its online mailing list, the 
participants organised meetings for amicable encounters and professional 
exchange. We want to revive this format and again hold a Syndicate 
Meeting under the label of "Deep Europe", a notion that does not refer 
to a particular territory, but to the awareness that identities and 
histories are always layered and entangled, a messy formation that 
cannot be 'cleared up', but that should rather be cherished and 
cultivated - in Europe, and elsewhere.
Session 01 curators: Andreas Broeckmann and Rasa Smite.

Topics: Deep Europe, Entangled Histories, Cultivated Futures, New 
Ecosophies, Extended Realities

- - -

[Splinter Session 02: Naturecultures]
on Day 2 (Fri 7 Oct) – “how to live in the damaged world” – will examine 
eco-feminist perspectives and other new ecosophies, learning from nature 
and our relations with it, in a search of new cultural theories and art 
practices that contribute towards goals of socio-ecological justice.
Day 2 will be hosted by the new Karlsruhe based art association – NAIA 
(Naturally Artificial Intelligence Art), featuring presentations by 
Karlsruhe UNESCO Media Art city artists.
Session 02 curators and co-chairs: Anett Holzheid, Eva-Maria Lopez, 
Daria Mille, Rasa Smite / NAIA

Topics: NatureCultures, Eco-feminism, More-than-Human, Socio-Ecological 
Justice, Naturally/Artificial IntIntelligences…

- - -

[Splinter Session 03: Living Technologies]
on Day 3 (8 Oct) – will focus on how the “relations between humans, 
other living organisms and machines” are experienced and expressed 
today, in the face of environmental crises, global pandemics and the war 
in Ukraine – splinters that raise fears of domination, and evoke a sense 
of the uncanny. Might they also point to a world of possibilities of 
becoming, creation of new forms and behaviors? Can we co-create more 
balanced forms of existence?

Day 3 will be hosted by the FeLT project team from Oslo, Norway, who are 
also co-founders of the Renewable Futures conference series. It will 
also feature the Green Revisited Book presentation by editors Kristin 
Bergaust, Jens Hauser and Rasa Smite.

Session 03 curators: Kristin Bergaust, Jens Hauser and FeLT (Oslo) 
project team.

Topics: Techno-Ecological Sensoriums, AI and Biological Systems, 
Technologies of Sensible, Terrestrial Co-existence, Beyond Green…

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

SPLINTERED REALITIES
August 25 - October 16, 2022,
Kim? Contemporary Art Center, Riga, Latvia

The RIXC Festival exhibition is an intent to play with the “splinters" 
of our contemporary condition, affected moreover by an ongoing war, post 
pandemics, media ubiquity and social division. The exhibition features 
the artworks by international artists who explore the transformative 
potential of art and extended reality, and ground their 'realism' 
position in the perspective of 'naturecultures' – in the spirit of 
Guattari's ecosophy, Latour's 'terrestrial coexistence', and Haraway's 
'arts of living on a damaged planet"..
