IMMERSIO 2023 presents an innovative mix media artworks by various artists and student. While ‘The Glass Doughnut’ is fusion of art and economics, set to explore and embody the principles of Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics through the lens of new media art. The highlight of the event, The Glass Doughnut installation, is a visual translation of the 'Doughnut'—a model that captures the essence of sustainable development by balancing essential human needs with the planet's ecological boundaries.
The interactive sculpture unfolds along side other creations while create an immersive experience that encourages participants to reconsider our traditional economic indicators, aligning with one of Raworth's seven ways to think like a 21st-century economist: to foster economies that are regenerative and distributive by design. The Glass Doughnut serves as a tactile representation of this concept, aiming to spark discussions on how communities can thrive within the means of our natural world.
