ENTER THE ARTIST'S WORLD ARTIST WORLDS: JAKOB KUDSK STEENSEN How can virtual worlds transform the way we relate to our real life environment? Artist Worlds is a two-part virtual event exploring the relationship between technology, ecology and sustainability in art through the work of Jakob Kudsk Steensen (Catharsis, The Deep Listener) and friends. Co-presented by UBS and Serpentine. ARTIST TALK WEDNESDAY 24 FEBRUARY, 5PM Join a live conversation with Jakob Kudsk Steensen and Serpentine Senior Strategist at Large, Ben Vickers, as they discuss simulating nature, immersive story-telling and multi-player game worlds.

READ MORE BACK TO EARTH In a new collaboration, Pompeii Commitment has invited three Serpentine Back to Earth artists to take part in Archaeological Matters, its first contemporary art programme. The artists will share insights from their ongoing research, which intersects archaeology, archaeobotany and archaeozoology. TAI SHANI Tai Shani is a Turner Prize-winning artist. Watch her visual response to a conversation she had with Serpentine curator Lucia Pietroiusti, covering topics such as dancing plagues, communist psychedelic witches, hyper-sexual fungi and descents and ascents.   Shani is developing Untitled Hieroglyphs, a film and sound art project based on her research into psychedelics, feminism and myth. This work is emerging from her Manchester International Festival/British Art Show commission, The Neon Hieroglyph. WATCH NOW ALEXANDRA DAISY GINSBERG Artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg examines our fraught relationships with nature and technology. Here she speaks with Serpentine curator Rebecca Lewin about her upcoming work for pollinators, which are a vital part of our ecosystem. WATCH NOW Commissioned by The Eden Project, Ginsberg has developed a special algorithm that optimises garden design, including plant species and layout, for pollinators rather than humans. READ MORE
