Emerging Technology Conference 2024 - Technology, Nature, and the Blurring Boundaries

How is our world shaped by the evolving relationship between technology and nature, and the blurring of the lines between the two? The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design invites you to Technology, Nature, and the Blurring Boundaries, a one-day conference exploring these questions and investigating the dynamic intersection of nature and the latest technologies.

Our topics will include:  

  • The workings of biophilic design frameworks,  
  • Designing technology-enhanced nature experiences,  
  •  Approaches to health and well-being in design,  
  • Sustainable material use in biophilic design,  
  • Speculative design for future natural landscapes. 

We welcome educators, researchers, industry professionals, and students to this event, which promotes the discussion of various critical perspectives on the intersection of art, design, and new technologies. Explore the symbiotic relationship between nature and emerging technologies, and how these fields redefine our approach to sustainability.  
 
During the events, different viewpoints will converge, creating synergies that foster collaboration between educational institutions and businesses. Our goal is to establish research groups, partnerships, and collaborations that advance our relationship with nature and sustainability toward building a liveable future. 
 
Let’s explore together the opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations of technology in the context of artificial intelligence.  

 

Please note that the conference will be held primarily in English, with translation headsets available for Hungarian-speaking participants.  
 
We look forward to seeing you at the event.

Working at the intersection of fiction and documentary, and stage and background, German film and video artist Julian Rosefeldt combines cinematography, architecture, theatre and literature in his installations. Particularly interested in the relationship between stage and background, the visible and the hidden, the original and the imitation, his films not only evoke social narratives but also reflect on the moving image itself being an archive, a factory of myths and an experimental space.

No designer wants their work to contribute to the erosion of human relationships, the destruction of the planet, or the growth of social inequality. But how can they find their place in a consumer society?

„Global society has not yet understood the distinction between physical expansion and qualitative development. It has passed the stage where more physical expansion is desirable. No widely-shared global goal is now served by having more people or material goods. Now it is important to learn how to advance the development of our species - achieving equity, peace, psychological balance, physical health, environmental quality.” (Dennis Meadows, co-author of Limits to Growth)
