ENCOUNTERS 2025 – EVER AFTER

Exploring Longevity Through the Lens of Art

Our collaborative art initiative returns to explore the dynamic interplay between creativity and technology. This season, the rising pursuit of longevity inspires installations that use generative code, AI, data and sound to create works that grow over time, respond to the environment and evolve with input from the audience. Asking “how do we design, create and live in ways that endure?”, ‘Ever After’ turns to artists who bring new insights to our longing for vitality and wellbeing. Spanning audiovisual works and participatory installations, the resulting program renews our commitment to art that embraces technology and brings the community’s questions and sensitivities to the forefront.
