wetland.games is an agent-based platform that aims to foster multi-species perspectives among users in environmental planning and support multi-natural intelligence. It is a collaborative effort between the LUMA curatorial team<\/a> of Martin Guinard and Salma Mochtari, scientist Rapha\u00ebl Mathevet (CNRS EPHE CEFE, France), artists Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas (MIT, USA), programmers Terry Kang and Thomas Lee Harriett (USA), with design in collaboration with NODE Berlin.

Envisioned as an update and adaptation project of the ButorStar* role-playing game and based on the interdisciplinary scientific works on Camargue marsh in France, wetland.games simulates the impacts of diverse factors: sea level and salinity dynamics, volatile climate and economy informing decisions made by various \u201cstakeholders\u201d of the wetland, i.e. farmers, fishers, livestock breeders, reed harvesters, hunters, conservationists, but also birds and plants, allowing players to explore the \u201cpluriverse\u201d, to use the anthropologist Arturo Escobar\u2019s expression.

Developed as educational tool that could be enacted as performance, the game emphasizes entanglement of landscape and humans and their inseparability in maintaining an equilibrium in between autochthonous and invasive, preservation and economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

wetland.games creates a continuum of learning from other species, that crosses the traditional boundaries between disciplines (geography, ecology, economy, anthropology) and allows participants to conduct multipurpose experiments that contribute to their understanding of socio-ecosystems and sustainability respecting the plurality of wetland beings\u2019 perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wetland.games is part of the Shadow Biosphere Observatory \u2013 a year-long project supported by LUMA Arles, La Saison de la Lituanie en France 2024, the Creative Interdisciplinary New European Bauhaus – NEB Research Centre, Vilnius Academy of Arts, and MIT Center for Art, Science and Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
