Winners of the Grand Prize for Innovative Collaboration by S+T+ARTS, UNLESS was invited to exhibit the awarded project Antarctic Resolution to the annual Ars Electronica Festival which was held in Linz from the 7th to 11th of September.

On occasion of the S+T+ARTS Day ‘Repairing the Present’ at Ars Electronica, UNLESS founder Giulia Foscari was invited to give a keynote speech on the transnational and multidisciplinary project of Antarctic Resolution, and the importance of raising awareness on the pivotal role the Antarctic holds within the global ecosystem.

The panel discussion following the keynote speech by Giulia Foscari during S+T+ARTS Day at Ars Electronica addressed the importance of undertaking scientific research on the continent and the power of the arts as catalyst to both bring together and disseminate scientific knowledge and inspire (climate) action.The panel was moderated by Francesca Bria (President of the National Innovation Fund), with the participation of Architect Eva Franch i Gilabert (Former director of the Architectural Association and Artistic Director of Model Barcelona) and Professor Carlo Barbante (lead glaciologist of the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica)
