What would it mean for a forest to own and manage itself? Terra0’s Autonomous Forest (2025) is an experimental, living artwork that rethinks ecological regeneration and stewardship through collective, blockchain-based governance. First theorized in their 2016 white paper, the group—finally—introduces a legal prototype with LAS Art Foundation: Two newly acquired woodland plots near Berlin are now DAO-managed, challenging years of monocultural and profit-driven forestry.

Zancan’s inaugural bitforms solo exhibition fuses nature’s intricacies with generative code. “Tree_Line” traces the evolution of the French artist’s primary subject—the tree—as both motif and metaphor for the branching decisions that mirror algorithmic processes. Spanning plotter works from 2021 to present, the show includes his generative collections, Garden, Monoliths (2021) and The Lushtemples (2021-24), as well as Tree 138 (2025), a dense sculptural installation supporting 83 individually embroidered frames.

“MOMENTUM 13: Between/Worlds—Resonant Ecologies” explores sound as a portal between human and non-human worlds in Moss (NO). Featured artists include Ralf Baecker, Natasha Barrett, Carsten Nicolai, and Jana Winderen and 36 others who curator Morten Søndergaard tasks with “revealing the vibrations that shape our shared spaces.” HC Gilje contributes The Alby Critters (2025), a follow-up to Wind-up Birds (2008) that puts robotic woodpeckers and sound-making objects in conversation with the Albyskogen forest.
