xMobil (from Xcenter)
An autonomous, solar-powered art-science lab and intermedia event space in a car trailer, since 2022 appearing at diverse festivals, public realms and ecological hotpoints.
xMobil is an autonomous, solar-powered art-science lab in the form of a standard car trailer, developed by a motley crew of hackers, students, makers, engineers, artists and scientists alike. An official project of the Go!2025 European Capital of Culture Nova Gorica – Gorizia, it was launched in the summer of 2022, appearing since then at several festivals, public spots and off road, at eco-hotspots in the Goriška region and across Europe. With a robust solar electric system of 8Kwh and an art-sci water filtering installation in development as well as its modular interior, it is geared for collaborative work either in remote locations or in public space. While it may also serve as a mere presentation platform/device, the modular car trailer provides durable yet affordable equipment for AV/ICT/DIY production and experimentation. It is designed to support research in art-science-technology projects, including eco+natural investigation (esp. citizen science), field sociology, visual anthropology etc. xMobil is lead by pETER Purg (xmobil@pleter.net).
