Across the world, emergent technologies are being developed and put to work that replace, augment or transform existing ecological processes—creating new bionic natures, cyborg ecologies composed of organic and artificial elements. What happens to the idea of nature when nature becomes a cyborg?
What if we looked at the deep future as a collaborative multi-species project? This collaboratory brings together people interested in the exploration of deep time using playful storytelling practices like Nordic LARP and other forms of role-play.
This environmental humanities collaboratory encourages trans-disciplinary conversations to understand and imagine how attention to overlapping worlds of meaning - crafted by diverse humans and other living beings - may create new possibilities not just for survival but for genuine multispecies coexistence in the Sixth Extinction.
Can exhibitions be qualified as research-in-itself? If they can, then how? Which criteria should be the basis of evaluating and verify research exhibitions?

What can the medium of photography contribute to our understanding of industrial whaling’s first oil age, and maybe to our relationship to our present mineral age? Espen Ytreberg, Professor of Media Studies at the University of Oslo, will give a talk based on his recent research on Norwegian whaling.
In this talk, Graeme Macdonald, Professor of English and Comparative Literary Studies (University of Warwick, UK), discusses how aesthetic signatures around the (in)visibility of oil apply to the aesthetics of contemporary energy transition and its representation in sound, screen and image. He explores these themes in two short films: Stephen Hurrel’s 2012 “Dead Reckoning” and Emily Richardson’s 2005 “Petrolia”.
In this talk, Anne Gjelsvik, Professor of Film Studies at NTNU, examines how the capsizing of the Alexander Kielland oil platform is represented in Makta and considers the emotional impact of the blurred translation of the actual incident into the TV series’ realm of playful criticism of men in power.
In this talk, Darren Dochuk, Professor of history at the University of Notre Dame (US), reflects on the relationship between petroleum, politics, and religion in the United States between the mid-1970s and the mid-1980s, as well as investigating the continuing effects of this period on the energy sector today.
