Mars on Earth presentation at SCI_ART 2026, Canada | Matjaž Tančič
Matjaž Tančič took part in SCI_ART 2026 – AFTER THE DATA / Cultural Climate Futures, an EU–Canada art and science residency held in Vancouver and Kelowna from 1 to 9 October 2026. Led by UBC Okanagan's Critical Future Studio/Lab and supported by the EU Delegation to Canada, the programme brought together European and Canadian artists, scientists and researchers. It aimed to explore how artistic research can make complex environmental and technological change perceptible to the public and contribute to dialogue between science, culture and policy.
Tančič presented his documentary research on people and infrastructures preparing for possible life beyond Earth at panels in Vancouver and at UBC Okanagan. His short film Mars on Earth had its first projection in the dome of the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver.
