Project XO Remote: Interactive Dance & Robotics Installation for Online Audiences<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Project XO<\/a> (Live) is a cutting-edge dance installation devised by New Movement Collective<\/a> with collaborators Kai Lab, Simon Haenggi and Fenyce Workspace. This unique encounter invites members of the public to wear a robotic exoskeleton which moves their body in a precise choreography. Exploring themes of power, agency and empathy, the robotic suit both subdues and empowers the wearer as we watch this haunting interaction between the participant, dancer and the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curatours Museum of Plastic 2121: In the Future You’ll Find Plastic Only in Museums\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Museum of Plastic<\/a> is an imagined future museum, built to teach future generations about plastics and tell the story of how activism started in 2021 led to the positive change that resulted in us cleaning up our oceans and forever changing our relationship with plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world today can seem bleak, with terrifying predictions creating deep-seated anxiety for the future, throwing doubt into the impact of our actions. Taking inspiration from the Solarpunk* movement, this is a positive look at our future.
