Topics include DIY technologies, AI communication, cyborg bodies and digital twins robotics, agriculture and nature preservation, zombie studies, artificial fertilization, food production and animal protection, art strategies, and community outreach - all explored within a social context. The symposium investigates how these interdisciplinary relationships influence communities across different localities, considering their potential for promoting social expansion or acting as invasive structures.

In that context, we posted the question what is the importance of collective and communal self-organization in social, technological, and scientific domains?

How can we use artistic and creative tools for communication towards communities and public spaces as intersections with scientific methodologies?
