Next Nature – Enter Spaceship Earth<\/p>\n
Do you dream of the future of our planet? Do you envision a world where humanity, technology, and nature merge in a revolutionary way? Then this is your chance! Submit your project to the Next Nature Museum’s Open Call by March 31st, and who knows, maybe your project will shine in the Spaceship Earth exhibition!<\/p>\n
What is Next Nature?
\nNext Nature explores how technology and nature are becoming increasingly interconnected. We believe in progress \u2013 not a return to nature. In our museum, located at the Evoluon in Eindhoven, you will discover a world where technology and nature work together. Through exhibitions, education, and research, we inspire people to embrace this future \u2013 a next nature.<\/p>\n
But we can’t do this alone… We need your help!
\nThis is your chance to become part of the future we want to create together. The Next Nature Museum challenges you to present innovative ideas about the evolution of humanity, technology, and nature. Do you have an interactive installation, a creative design, or an innovative biotechnological concept? If your project offers a fresh perspective on the future, then you\u2019re in the right place. The best projects will be showcased in the Spaceship Earth exhibition, where we explore the four evolutionary rings of our planet: Geosphere (the Earth and its resources), Biosphere (life and ecosystems), Technosphere (technology), and Mindsphere (consciousness). These four rings represent the stages of our planet and our evolution as a species. Together, they offer a vision of where we come from and where we can go.<\/p>\n

\nSuccess stories from 2024<\/p>\n
The fact that the Open Call leads to inspiring projects was proven by the winners of 2024: Philippa Beale, Puck van Dijk, and Roanne van Voorst. Out of more than two hundred submissions, they were selected to realize their groundbreaking ideas.
\nPhilippa Beale designed a speculative organism \u2013 a type of starfish \u2013 that helps people breathe underwater. A radical vision of how we can adapt to climate change.
\nPuck van Dijk brought the hidden world beneath our feet to life with an interactive AI installation. Visitors can communicate with underground organisms and experience the human impact on ecosystems.
\nRoanne van Voorst uncovered the hidden mechanisms of artificial intelligence. Her project shows how algorithms influence our behavior and the ecological footprint we leave behind.
