Introduction
How do imagination, contemporary art, and digital media intertwine with the natural environment, local histories, and multiple identities in the public sphere? Can we conceive of technology today as inseparable from nature? What kinds of creatures can one encounter in a lake, and what is it like for a digital jellyfish to coexist with a northerner shoveler?

BugSim (Pheromone Spa) by Theo Triantafyllidis
Come and explore with us the parallel real and imaginary worlds created by artworks in an interactive waterfront walk, and experience reality as it is artistically rendered by artificial intelligence models. During the tours we will discover, among other things, a colony of ants that transforms a purple mud into its new home [Theo Triantafyllidis, “BugSim (Pheromone Spa)”], a non-binary imaginary creature speaking in an inclusive Epirotic language [WordMord, “Glωssic Insaf”], and a living sculpture of mycelium clusters that evolves into a mushroom colony [Matthias Fritsch, “Mycelium Network”].
At the pier's kiosk, next to the boats.
- Wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is recommended.
- The tours involve easy walking, lasting about an hour and a half.
- Any child’s movement around the site should occur solely under the
responsibility and presence of his/her legal guardian. - Both tours have the same content and include visits to the same projects.
