Chapters from the Technosphere huwa proġett kollaborattiv immexxi mir-riċerka li jibbaża fuq il-kunċett tat-teknosfera; sistema ta’ skala planetarja ta’ infrastrutturi magħmula mill-bniedem u residwi tal-materjali. Il-proġett jittratta l-ispazju tal-esebizzjoni bħala laboratorju ħaj għall-interrogazzjoni ta’ kif is-sistemi kontemporanji tal-estrazzjoni, l-enerġija, l-ilma u l-ikel isawru d-dinja li ngħixu fiha. Żviluppat mill-artist Sheldon Saliba u l-kuratriċi Elyse Tonna permezz ta’ proċess ta’ xogħol fil-prattika u arkeoloġija spekulattiva madwar il-kumpless tal-għerien ta’ Għar il-Kbir, il-proġett jikkontesta r-rwoli dominanti fid-dinja tal-arti billi jintegra l-kollaborazzjoni kuratorjali u artistika fih kollu. L-esebizzjoni se tifrex fuq erba’ kapitli kunċettwali u tevolvi maż-żmien permezz ta’ installazzjoni ta’ materjali, sistemi tal-għajxien u kontribut kollettiv. Bħala laboratorju, il-proġett essenzjalment se jiġġenera programm pubbliku kurat u pubblikazzjoni, li jlaqqgħu flimkien kollaboratori, kontributuri u komunitajiet permezz ta’ avvenimenti, workshops u kitba kritika.

Chapters from the Technosphere is a collaborative, research-led project drawing on the concept of the technosphere; a planetary-scale system of human-made infrastructures and material residues. The project treats the exhibition space as a living laboratory for interrogating how contemporary systems of extraction, energy, water and food shape the world we inhabit. Developed by artist Sheldon Saliba and curator Elyse Tonna through a process of fieldwork and speculative archaeology surrounding the cave complex of Għar il-Kbir, the project challenges dominant artworld roles by embedding curatorial and artistic collaboration throughout. The exhibition will unfold across four conceptual chapters and evolve over time through material installation, living systems and collective input. As a laboratory, the project will inherently generate a curated public programme and a publication, bringing together collaborators, contributors, and communities through events, workshops, and critical writing.
