New Suns is the immersive outcome of Artengine’s Worldbuilding Lab, a collaborative space where artists and thinkers crafted a speculative future beyond ecological collapse and societal fragmentation. In this imagined world, humanity has evolved, through adaptation, hybridity, and deep relationality, into something fluid, interconnected, and symbiotic with the more-than-human world.
Emerging from the ashes of extractive systems and neoliberal ideologies, the works in this exhibition depict cryogenic metamorphoses, amphibious human-animal hybrids, memory-sharing networks, and ritualistic biotechnologies. Here, rest and grief are tools of resistance, and identity is no longer singular, but part of a vast, living continuum.
Far from dystopia or utopia, New Suns is a provocation: what new worlds can we imagine together? And what might we need to become to live in them?
