The artists of ACLIM! Agency for Climate Imaginary! hereby announce the programme to emancipate the imaginary, which they see as the first step to confront the climate catastrophe. Agents represent various areas of cultural life as well as the social and natural sciences, their co-operations are rooted in a shared hope of forming synergies that overcome the boundaries of scientific disciplines. By being composed of such networks, the Agency promotes an ancient-new idea of knowledge, in which intuition, emotional intelligence, the totality of bodily experiences, artistic knowledge, or dialogue all come to play a role alongside science. By excavating local phenomena, the projects of agents can facilitate cognitive upscaling towards global causes and the birth of new, positive futures.The artists of the ACLIM! Agency for Climate Imaginary! announce a programme aimed at liberating the imaginary, which they see as a first step in confronting the climate crisis. Our agents come from various areas of cultural life as well as the social and natural sciences. Their scientific discipline-bridging cooperation is based on a belief that their knowledges cumulate in community and can obtain new meaning. Through this networked structure, the Agency represents an ancient-new notion of knowledge, in which intuitions, emotional intelligence, artistic knowledge, and bodily-sensory experiences all play important roles alongside scientific inquiry. By exploring local phenomena, agents’ projects can support the deeper understanding of global challenges and the birth of new, positive world-images.
