During
the scientific coastal conference Littoral ' Facing Present and Future Coast Challenges'
philosopher Bram Esser and designer Francois Lombarts engage the expert conference
audience in the interactive performative workshop called 'The Eridanos
Expedition'.
This special contribution is part of the international arts collaboration
of Satellietgroep (NL) with Nida Art Colony (LT). During 2014 and 2015 both
organizations exchange contemporary artistic research and insights on coastal
transitions. The
central theme of this collaboration is the shift from holocene (nature driven)
to anthropocene (human driven). Both coasts of The Netherlands and Lithuania
are perceived as natural coastal landscapes but are dynamic cultural coastal
landscapes. Exchange between science, arts and society contributes to raising
awareness of general and expert audiences on coastal transitions that transcend
local and national boundaries.
