We are not alone on this planet, but part of a vast, complex web of species, agents, and other beings. What are our ethical responsibilities to the environment and to the multiplicity of living systems that comprise it? How can practitioners of art, science, and technology sustain these dynamic networks and evolve interspecies communication?

All programing is on-demand through the Ars Electronica platform site 8 - 30 September CEST unless otherwise noted.
