Planetary Consciousness. Ecosystems of Care
Renata Motyka has designed the visual identity for the exhibition Planetary Consciousness. Ecosystems of Care at the School of Digital Art, Manchester Metropolitan University. It was curated by Eliza Urwanowicz-Rojecka and Jakub Wróblewski.
It is another project designed to promote Polish and Ukrainian contemporary digital art, co-delivered by the Arsenal Gallery in Białystok and the 3D and Virtual Occurrences II Studio, Faculty of Media Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
The project has been inspired by the concept of planetary consciousness, in reference to a theory by sociologist and globalisation theorist Roland Robertson, who introduced the notion of global consciousness (Robertson 1992, 2014). Thus termed by Robertson, the shift towards the world-universe relationship already assumed that the global perspective would transcend into the planetary.
The exhibition was presented from November 4th to December 2nd 2025 at the School of Digital Arts (SODA), Manchester Metropolitan University 14 Higher Chatham St, Manchester M15 6ED.
