How has the expansion of super-intensive olive groves affected the biodiversity and demographics of the Alentejo region?

The Alqueva dam, while boosting economic growth, has primarily benefited large corporations through super-intensive farming, consuming over 80% of its water. This has led to land concentration, reduced biodiversity (with intensive groves hosting half the species of traditional ones), and a decline in rural population—Alentejo lost over 52,000 inhabitants from 2011-2021.

What are the exhibition's implicit predictions or warnings about the future of humanity's relationship with technology and the environment?

The exhibition subtly suggests a future where humanity's role in the Anthropocene remains uncertain. While images of technological advancement evoke a sense of awe, the accompanying concerns about resource depletion, environmental damage, and the potential for societal upheaval offer a less optimistic outlook. The juxtaposition of images depicting escape into virtual or historical worlds against those showing environmental devastation suggests a growing sense of unease about the planet's future.
