What if we could imagine a world where nature and technology truly coexisted? A reality where they didn’t compete but are part of the same rhythm. Growing, evolving, shaping, and reshaping each other.
Presented by Blueshift Gallery and Office Impart, „Down the Silicon Meadow“ brings together works by seven contemporary artists who invite us to rethink cohabitation—expanding it beyond humans, plants, and animals to include machines and technologies. It’s an idea that challenges the divisions we know: human vs. non-human, nature vs. machine, living vs. non-living. Instead, it asks us to see the world as one interconnected ecosystem.
In this vision, machines don’t just use and copy nature—they live with it and within it. They mimic it, adapt to it, and respond to it.
The artists in this exhibition explore how these interactions might create a shared space of coexistence— a meadow where the organic and synthetic grow side by side. What happens when we imagine futures with coexistence in mind? When the boundaries between the organic and synthetic dissolve, where can we create a future built not on domination but on connection?
Let's have a walk Down the Silicon Meadow.
