SPLINTERED REALITIES
The 5th RENEWABLE FUTURES Conference (Hybrid / Virtual)
in the framework of RIXC Art Science Festival 2022
October 6 – 8, 2022
Riga, Latvia / virtually from Liepaja, Karlsruhe, Oslo

“An ecology of the virtual is .. just as pressing as ecologies of the 
visible world” – Felix Guattari


RIXC in Riga is preparing the next edition of its annual Art and Science 
festival, which under the title SPLINTERED REALITIES will take place in 
Riga and virtually, including the exhibition opening program (August 25, 
2022) followed by artist talks, guided tours, workshops and performances 
(August 25 – October 16, 2022), and the international conference event 
(October 6–8,  2022).


The SPLINTERED REALITIES Conference of RIXC Festival, is the 5th edition 
of the Renewable Futures conference series. The Conference will take 
place from October 6 – 8, 2022, as a hybrid event; the on-site part will 
take place at the RIXC gallery in Riga, hosting keynote speakers, panel 
curators, co-chairs and moderators, while most of the participants 
(selected through an open call) will be joining online, including in 
hybridity format sessions co-hosted by RIXC partners – NAIA in 
Karlsruhe, MPLab in Liepaja and FeLT in Oslo.



SPLINTERED REALITIES
Conference
October 6 – 8, 2022,
Riga (Hybrid and Virtual)

The SPLINTERED REALITIES Conference will be structured into a three-day 
program, with each “Splinter Session” focusing on a different area or 
field, identifying the key “splinters” and discussing how to make 
tentative steps towards reconstituting our realities, everyday lives, 
and communication with each other, now and into the future.


We want to meet in Riga and online, to talk, eat, play – and probably 
also cry – together, and imagine what it would take to build a world in 
which wars like the current Russian onslaught on Ukraine would become 
impossible. We choose such a perspective because our realism is neither 
that of military strategists, nor that of cultural pessimists. Instead, 
ours is a desperate realism – perhaps in the spirit of Guattari's 
ecososphy, Latour's terrestrial coexistence, or Haraway's question of 
how to live on a damaged Earth.. Media ubiquity, pandemic concerns, and 
social divisions have landed us in a world of splintered realities – to 
live with? to heal? to care? to learn from nature?


We don't expect to provide answers. Instead, the conference aims to be a 
forum for revising the “splinters” of our contemporary condition – 
affected moreover by ongoing military conflict.


The Conference will also look at creative practices that deal with 
“splintered realities”, showcasing what art can do and discussing what 
kind of (extended reality) technologies can help us to become more open 
(and sensitive) towards each other and our environments.

[Splinter Session 01: Deep Europe] on Day 1 (6 Oct) – “in the rear-view 
mirror of history” – will focus on the current situation in Europe, with 
a focus on the Baltics and Central and Eastern Europe, discussing and 
evaluating the “splinters” from the perspective of the past. Day 1 will 
feature the “Syndicate Meeting”, and artist presentations hosted by 
MPLab in Liepaja, which will be European Capital of Culture in
