Solarpunk is about making use of technology in ways that work with the natural world:

“Imagine having our technologies built in harmony with nature…” – Sidmouth Solarpunk

Here’s a look at how art, nature and technology can work together:

“Solarpunk” installations feature at Earth Edition festival in California

Geodesic domes containing projections of AI-rendered images depicting  “ideal eco futures” feature at the Earth Edition exhibition held in California.

Called Earth Edition: A Festival of Eco-Consciousness, the ten-day event was located at the California Institute of Art’s (CalArts) campus in Santa Clarita and sought to “shift the tone of the conversation around the climate crisis” with AI technology, large-scale immersive installations and climate-oriented work by over 40 individual artists...

The fair also featured the Zukunft Garten (A Solarpunk Experience) by hacker and futurist John Threat, a theatre space outfitted with plants by Latinx With Plants that hosted talks, DJ sets and “unlearning” workshops.

The space tapped into so-called solarpunk culture through a combination of digital experiences and plants installed on walls, floors and the ceiling. “Cyberpunk is future-oriented, dystopian,” said Lovelace. “Solarpunk is utopian. It poses the question, ‘What if nature and technology could meet and create a wonderful world?'”
