Welcome to the Social Art Award 2025 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many powerful contributions from artists across the globe. The selected works reflect the diversity of contemporary social art practices and address urgent issues such as climate and water crises, social and economic inequality, migration, conflict, discrimination, and the protection of human and more-than-human life.
Below you will find the submissions from the edition of 2024/2025 that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and supports dialogue around their themes; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your inspiring and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping the Social Art Award 2025.
EXNATURA
Filippo Gregoretti
EXNATURA is breathing along with the world and merges with humanity in a shared experience of co-creation between Nature, Humans and Machine. The living artwork generates a continuous, unpredictable flow of visuals and music. The journey is influenced by real-time meteorological and thermal data collected in various natural landmarks around the world, resonating the entire planet in an audiovisual artwork. During the performance the human, natural and artificial entities are combined, generating an immersive audio-visual session. The living, artistic, algorithmic entity continuously evolves into a fresh, albeit unpredictable, personality. The artwork expresses itself, interpreting signals from earth, generating a continuous, ever-changing flow of visuals and music. It connects with the human musician reacting to the live performance and, through a supplementary display, suggests scales, harmony, and emotions to be accompanied by the Harmonium: an ancient and sacred instrument. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoW8ElUFoYY
