GreenHouse NAXOS

Join our virtual festival playground!

We have accepted the challenge of bringing people together and fostering debate and involvement in new hybrid spaces. For NODE20 we have designed our own 3D festival venue – a platform for gathering, meetups, for workshops, installations and performances. GreenHouse NAXOS is our open virtual playground and think tank.

 

GreenHouse NAXOS

We have accepted the challenge of bringing people together and fostering debate and involvement in new hybrid spaces. In collaboration with studioNAXOS, we have designed a 3D festival venue – a platform for gathering, for meetups, workshops, installations and performances. GreenHouse NAXOS is our open virtual playground and think tank on cultural practices in times of the ecological crisis and shifting public life.

(Re-)Imagining the Naxoshalle

As an interactive social sculpture, GreenHouse NAXOS also represents one possible narrative of a sustainable transformation of the Naxoshalle into a climate-neutral public space for social encounters in its neighbourhood. Based on an initiative by the performance collective studioNAXOS, we are prototyping a place for innovative theatre practice and performance.

In the virtual GreenHouse, we invite you to prototype, discuss, construct and draw your idea of a Naxoshalle 2.0 and join the conversation about public spaces (both in the analogue and digital realm), digital venues, accessibility for new audiences and diverse groups, performative futures, spatial design and moderation needs.

Due to COVID-19 regulations and in order to minimize the risk of infection the number of people that can enter the VR-experience at once will be limited.
We are also following a strict hygiene and disinfection regime to make sure everyone can safely enter the VR-experience. This might result in waiting time on site.

“Ein optimistischer Film über Lösungen, die wir brauchen, um den globalen ökologischen Kollaps aufzuhalten – mit mehr als 800.000 Zuschauer*innen in Frankreich und mit einem César als bester Dokumentarfilm ausgezeichnet. Der Fokus des Films liegt auf dem Zusammenhang der verschiedenen Probleme, mit denen die Welt momentan zu kämpfen hat. Unterteilt in die Kategorien Landwirtschaft, Energie, Wirtschaft, Demokratie, Bildung werden im Laufe des Films in zehn Ländern Experten und Initiativen aufgesucht, die an Ideen und Lösungen für eine alternative ökologische, wirtschaftliche und demokratische, schlicht für eine bessere Zukunft arbeiten. Sie stellen in Interviews mit Wissenschaftlern und Aktivisten Modelle des Urban Farming oder der biologischen Landwirtschaft vor und untersuchen neue Wege der Energiegewinnung, der Stadtplanung und der Müllentsorgung, aber auch Projekte zu sozialer Gerechtigkeit und demokratischer Teilhabe sowie vorbildliche Schulsysteme.”
