‘Ecological Nexus’ is a spatial exploration of the intersection between technology and nature, offering an array of perspectives into our complex relationship with the world around us. These environmental narratives extend beyond the visual, incorporating interactive installations, virtual reality worlds, and sensory experiences.

Through a curated selection of local, national, and international artists, ‘Ecological Nexus’ refers to a critical point or connection within ecosystems where various elements and processes converge and interact. While some artists highlight the beauty of nature, challenge the implications of a technological driven world, or respond to living biomes through algorithmic analyses, others convey concerns about carbon waste and reviving our dying ecosystems. 

As technology both shapes and mirrors our existence, "Ecological Nexus" invites audiences to question, reflect, and engage in a dialogue about the impact of human innovation on our planet. Acknowledging the paradox of using technology, often blamed for environmental harm, to illuminate nature's wonders, "Ecological Nexus" embraces the responsibility to contribute to the ongoing conversation about eco-environmental concerns and celebrations.
