A media project in Tsekh traditionally serves as a counterpoint to the main themes of the environmental biennale. The specificity of the industrial space with a huge ceiling in the very center of the city allows us to present large-scale projects of media artists with complex technical requirements and creates conditions for deeper immersion into the visual and semantic structure of works.

The exhibition in Tsekh not only expands the medial boundaries of the biennale, but also offers to consider its problems through the prism of technologically mediated relations between man and the environment. The exhibition shows a clearer dialogue about possible scenarios of the future, technofuturism and genetic engineering, biomimicry and the development of the "Internet of Nature" — the concept of digital monitoring and the interconnectedness of natural systems. These topics are united by the issue of the transformation of boundaries between natural and artificial, living and technical. Technology here appears not only as a tool for transforming the world, but also as part of the environment that shapes the conditions of human existence and other forms of life.

The presented works address possible scenarios of the future, from utopian to disturbing, and offer insight into how scientific and technological changes are redefining our understanding of nature, responsibility, and coexistence. In this context, the medium becomes not just a way of representation, but also a space for exploring new forms of interaction between biological, technical and social systems.
