Key decisions
Fondazione Ecosistemi presented first research results on Pinus pinea (stone pine), framing the 'consortium of plants' metaphor and cochineal problem.
Videocittà outlined 4 curatorial levels (Artistic, Typology, Writing/Speaking, Curatorial) and creative direction points (Identity, Audience engagement/emotional connection, Simplicity/portability, inclusion in EU Digital Archive).
Pitch Marathon – 6 artistic partners presented concepts: ADAF (GR) 'Medusa Valley' / 'Memory Park'; Rencontres Audiovisuelles (FR) video mapping on Mers-les-Bains cliffs; LAB852 (HR) 'Island Trapped Waves' Lastovo; Eufonic (ES) 'Thalastasi' project; Signal (CZ) water scarcity audiovisual work; Transylvania Trust (RO) castle-in-ruins AR/VR (with University of Cluj).
NTNU Digitisation Task Force posed 3 archive questions (what to archive; possibilities/challenges of digital art; future archiving); collective brainstorming on transparency/copyright/authorship, digital consumption, preservation responsibility, keeping art dynamic post-project; proposal to add Eufonic's digital-archive experts to the Task Force.
XAMK Greening Guidelines: design-based development phased Understand(2024)/Ideate(2024)/Prototype(2025)/Iterate(2025)/Finalize(2026); 4 pillars (ecological, cultural, social, economic) + 'Sustainalily' concept; partners (Eufonic, LAB, Signal, Rencontres) agreed to participate in online greening interviews.
