SuperMiND: Nordic and Baltic Countries Nexus is an interdisciplinary art collaboration project between the Nordic and Baltic countries, delving into complex themes at the intersection of human-machine interaction, transcendentalism, and intrinsic human technologies, all while encompasing biotechnology. We foster a discourse between humans and other life forms. Our project immerses itself in the multidimensional realms of plants and the kingdom of fungi, investigating the profound interconnections between nature, humans, and other life forms.

In an era of profound technological and cultural metamorphosis, and amidst a difficult geopolitical situation, the collaboration between the Nordic and Baltic countries stands as a beacon of intellectual and artistic synergy, as well as a framework of safety architecture. The SuperMiND: Nordic and Baltic Countries Nexus project embodies this collaborative spirit, drawing upon shared values and a commitment to sustainable development and inclusivity.

The project underscores the importance of interconnectedness, fostering a robust dialogue among artists, researchers, and cultural influencers across borders. This interconnectedness is crucial for the exploration of themes at the intersection of human and machine, nature and technology, thereby enriching our understanding of identity and existence.

Collaboration is the cornerstone of our endeavors, enabling us to navigate and address complex societal issues such as LGBTQIA+ rights, gender equality, and the protection of youth and child rights, upholding the values of European Union, Nordic and Baltic countries, strengthening the democratic values. By adhering to Guidelines for Working Sustainably, we ensure that our practices are environmentally responsible and ethically sound, promoting a future where technology and humanity coexist harmoniously.

Moreover, the project incorporates diverse perspectives, including those of the youth, ensuring that the voices shaping our future are heard and valued. Through this inclusive approach, we aim to foster an environment where innovative ideas can flourish, and meaningful connections are forged.

In essence, the SuperMiND: Nordic and Baltic Countries Nexus project is a testament to the power of collaborative efforts between the Nordic and Baltic countries. It not only advances our collective cultural and technological discourse but also strengthens the bonds that unite our nations in the pursuit of a more equitable and enlightened world.

The project rigorously investigates themes related to cyborgs, androids, robots, and artificial intelligence. Through an in-depth examination of these entities, it uncovers critical discourses on posthumanism. By analyzing the evolution of artificial entities and their impact on human identity and society, the project sheds light on the transformative potential of posthumanist thought. The inquiry extends to how these technological advancements challenge traditional notions of what it means to be human, thereby prompting a reevaluation of human agency, autonomy, and interconnectedness in an increasingly automated world.

The SuperMiND: Nordic and Baltic Countries Nexus initiative endeavors to elucidate the construction of "reality". Our objective is to facilitate novel methodologies for perceiving reality, to enhance comprehension of the formation of reality constructs, and to scrutinize the impact of technology on our perception of the world. The project is anchored in the intellectual contributions of artists, cultural visionaries, and philosophers, enhansed by contemporary research in technology and artificial intelligence. By engaging with these topics, the project contributes to a deeper understanding of the societal and cultural shifts driven by technological innovation, ultimately fostering a nuanced discourse on the future of human-machine coexistence.

The project serves a pivotal role in nurturing communication among Nordic and Baltic states by fostering robust and sustained collaboration.
