Diriyah Art Futures (DAF) announced on Wednesday the opening date of its fourth major exhibition, titled "Of the Earth: Earthly Technologies to Computational Biologies."
The exhibition will run in Diriyah from January 14 to May 16.
Curated by DAF’s Director of Exhibitions Irini Papadimitriou, the exhibition is organized into four thematic areas. It examines how technology is often viewed as a tool for controlling nature, while also addressing the environmental impact of digital systems on a planet with finite resources. The artworks will showcase how these technologies are constructed from the earth's own materials.
The collaborations between art, technology, and science provide creative ways to address urgent issues and challenge technological power structures. They propose pathways toward caring ecosystems, reimagining technology shaped by interspecies, collective, and planetary intelligence that serves more than just human needs.
A public program featuring panel discussions, practical workshops, and masterclasses will accompany the exhibition.
