About
In this transdisciplinary embodied-artistic lab format, we explore the interplay between social-ecological resilience and inner resilience, focusing on microseasonal variability, adaptive daily rhythms, and urban-alpine transitions. By fostering a multisensory and artistic approach, we offer a space where participants examine environmental, cognitive, and physiological resilience in shifting between diverse mountain scapes - landscapes, micro seasons, and micro day patterns.
The Alpine Resilience Multisensory Lab will explore how the mountain socio-cultural ecological scape, an “environmental antenna,” shapes perceptual, cognitive, and behavioral flexibility, nurturing adaptive intelligence to address global complexities and catalyse social-cultural adaptation to environmental shifts.
Exploring urban-alpine lifestyle transitions will guide participants in optimizing cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and well-being as they move between environments. They will delve into the sensory and cognitive contrasts between urban and alpine environments, gaining valuable insights into designing tools for greater adaptability and resilience.
Ultimately, the lab advances resilience research and develops actionable frameworks for adaptive, resilient (mountain) living. Through an immersive, research-driven approach, the lab will guide individuals toward a more perceptually attuned and environmentally harmonious future.
The lab is guided by Sylwia Orczykowska, ArtNow Founder, and Tobias Luthe, MonViso Institute Founding Director. It takes place within the framework of the #IMC International Mountain Conference, 14-18 September 2025, Innsbruck, Austria.
