Sensus Art: Enhancing Ecological Imagination for Immersive Futures

 

Experience transforms how we perceive and relate to the world. Situated at the intersections of nature, culture, and technology, SensUs Art explores how augmented reality and multisensory artistic experiments can extend human perception, reveal invisible ecological processes, and translate our interconnectedness with the environment into multisensory experiences.

Initiated by RIXC, SensUs Art brings together a constellation of artistic projects and international partnerships spanning Riga, Karlsruhe, Toronto (Canada), Taiwan, and the Baltic–Nordic SensUs Art Network. Through diverse collaborations, artists investigate symbiotic relationships between social and ecological systems, engaging with urban nature and evolving nature–culture environments.

Together, these artistic explorations seek to enhance climate imagination by challenging our perception of reality and inviting audiences to envision immersive futures shaped by more-than-human perspectives and ecological interconnectedness.
