PALE FLUO DOT

This event is free, but registration is required and places are limited.

PALE FLUO DOT is a newly commissioned performance by Amnesia Scanner and installation by Jenna Sutela, presented by LAS Art Foundation in collaboration with Future Humans of the Berggruen Institute.

Marking the ceremonial opening of the Planetary Summit, PALE FLUO DOT is an immersive audio-visual experience that reflects the summit’s themes. Audiences encounter a musical composition, including AI instruments and experimental verses, as well as a video installation capturing the rhythms of glowworms, fireflies, bioluminescent algae and other organisms that emit light to communicate. Pulsing light and fog fills the room, which, combined with the audio and visual elements, create an otherworldly environment reminiscent of submarine or extraterrestrial space.

The event is curated by Boris Magrini, Senior Curator at LAS Art Foundation, and is inspired by Dr. Claire Isabel Webb’s interdisciplinary work at the nexus of art, philosophy, and technology.
