The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival — celebrating this year its tenth anniversary — focuses on extreme environments.
These are environments that were, until recently, uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science and technology turn into "inhabitable" places (Antarctica, underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that are becoming "uninhabitable" due to the impacts of our way of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical pressures and global warming).
(Un)Inhabitable? – Art of Extreme Environments presents works that explore the meaning of living in extreme environments, in the imaginary realm as well as in the physical one, in the political, social and environmental fields as well as in the poetic ones.
Founded by Henry Chapier and Jean-Luc Soret in 2000, the @rt Outsiders Festival is a yearly event dedicated to new contemporary art forms in relation with science and technology.
