TEKS – Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre – presents the seventh Trondheim
international biennale for art and technology.

Ecophilia can be defined as our deep desire to connect with nature. But
what is nature? And what is ecophilia in the age of the Anthropocene? When
borders between nature, human,s and technology have become blurred, even
obsolete?

How is ecophilia manifested today? Fighting climate change? Giving legal
rights to non-humans? Advocating the devolution of the human species – for
the better of the planet? Or should a true ecophile love and care for a
nature transformed with all its strange new habitants? What about saving
plastic Christmas trees, protecting artificial landscapes, and putting
genetically modified organisms on the list of protected species?

How do the many varieties of ecophilia affect nature? And what happens when
our relationship with nature turns into an ecosexual fetish? Can one be too
much of an ecophile? Do we even need to be in nature to be ecophiles?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to solve all the environmental crises
just by running numbers. Now technoecophile’s love for nature can be
amplified through screens, apps, and endless gadgets.
