S.P.A.C.E. Planetary Justice in Anthropogenic Times - A Media Arts Game for Wondering with Children and Land

<p dir="ltr">S.P.A.C.E is a speculative media arts game designed to support children, educators, and communities to wonder, play, and co-create with Land, technologies, and the more-than-human world. Developed through the SWISP Lab residency <i>Friends of the Secret Underground</i> (FOSU), the game invites participants into immersive and sensorial engagements with ecological sites.</p><p dir="ltr">Grounded in justice-oriented pedagogies, S.P.A.C.E unfolds through five interlinked zones of inquiry:</p><ul><li><b>S</b>: <i>Site, Sight, Speculation</i></li><li><b>P</b>: <i>Playful Pedagogies and Practices</i></li><li><b>A</b>: <i>Artful Affect and Activisms</i></li><li><b>C</b>: <i>Creating, Curiosity, Community</i></li><li><b>E</b>: <i>Ecologies, Energies, Ethics</i></li></ul><p dir="ltr">Each zone is a portal to media-rich provocations that blend soundscapes, light, video, and digital remixing with nature-based play and storytelling. Players remix site-based materials, imagine futures, and create speculative artworks that challenge anthropocentric logics and re-story place.</p><p dir="ltr">S.P.A.C.E supports curriculum innovation and transdisciplinary learning across art, science, and sustainability. It is ideal for museums, galleries, schools, and community learning contexts committed to planetary justice and creative inquiry.</p>
