XPANSE, the world's first forum and visioning of the future with exponential technologies, is a groundbreaking global initiative based in Abu Dhabi bringing the world’s brightest minds and renowned technologists to ADNEC Center in Abu Dhabi, November 20-22, to crystallize the path to the future.
Hosted by ADQ, the Abu Dhabi-based investment and holding company (Learn more about ADQ), and in partnership with the international think tank MATTER and ADNEC, XPANSE will convene 2,500 trailblazers, Nobel Laureates, industry leaders, CEOs, ministers, scientists, and internationally renowned thinkers to set the path for exponential technology fields spanning quantum, AI & AGI, genomics, exotic computing, embodied intelligence, Next-gen 2D matter, organoid intelligence, fusion energy, Brain-Machine interfaces, sentient cities, Future G and beyond.
ART Proxima - a powerful concept. A unique collective of new media artists and pioneering scientists, creating an alliance of knowledge, science, technology, and...art... ART Proxima will host 4 installations by world-renowned new media artists and a series of co-creation sessions.
By Solimán López | DNA Information Storage
Capside, The Sacred Drop presents an evocative installation that merges two distinct elements into one profound experience. As a single drop of pure water descends before your eyes, it becomes more than a mere droplet - it harbors the essence of Amazonian biodiversity, encapsulating the DNA of countless species in a single, sacred moment. The second drop encodes the thoughts and memories of thought leaders, preserved within a strand of DNA. Together, these drops create a striking juxtaposition of nature’s brilliance and human intellect, inviting viewers to engage in a deep, reflective connection between the natural world and the wisdom of innovative minds.
By Krista Kim | Biometric Information Security
Krista Kim's Heart Space is an innovative art installation that intersects biometric technology, digital identity, and immersive art. The Heart Space project leverages Tenbeo's proprietary heartbeat-based biometric technology to create personalized Digital Identity NFTs. This initiative empowers individuals to reclaim control over their personal data through a unique and secure digital identity anchored to their heartbeat.
By Solimán López | Brainwave Capture
BIOWAVES by Solimán López is an innovative concept that bridges human and natural heritage. The experiential interactive artwork is based on the recorded brainwaves of the exceptional minds attending XPANSE and the data is stored not in a hard drive or a data center… but inside a DNA. The DNA containing the memories and thoughts of XPANSE luminaries merged with recycled Mediterranean Sea plastic will be crafted into a unique vinyl album featuring marine mammal communications, harmonizing brainwaves and whale frequencies into a piece of art. Through the fusion of neuroscience and biotechnology, it transforms the nature of thought and the resilience of our oceans into a tangible, auditory experience.
By Otto Plesner | fMRI + Alzheimer
"The Art of Memory" is innovative in its seamless integration of AI, neuroscience, and art to create a truly immersive show experience. By using fMRI scans of Alzheimer’s patients to generate AI-driven digital artworks, we transform raw clinical data into visual representations of memory, something never before seen in this context. This approach not only makes complex neurological processes accessible but also deeply personal and relatable.

TC | OPTICAL PATH ENGINEERING
Immerse yourself in this unexpected adventure, weaving color & light across time to create an optical masterpiece unique to you. Movement employs an array of quantized reflections, mathematically. Tuned to manipulate photons in a three-dimensional space, the installation reveals a dynamic visual experience, a sea of flowing images that ultimately converge to one in a moment of harmony at the focal point. Indulge your senses, Move, Dance & Live ... With your quantized reflections... Revel in the exponential senses of existence.
Sofian Audry | computational & biological sentience
The work brings together an artificial neural network and a colony of microalgae in a feedback loop where they collaborate to generate a speculative living alphabet. This process is rendered through an ensemble of displays at micro, meso and macro scales, creating an engaging experience that appeals to curiosity and imagination.
