Starting from November 4, the exhibition “Planetary Consciousness. Ecosystems of Care” is open in Manchester at the School of Digital Arts (SODA). The project promotes contemporary Polish digital art and showcases how artists from Poland and Ukraine use new media and technologies to explore the theme of care for the planet. The exhibition is a part of the UK/Poland Season 2025.

Poland, not Transylvania, is the homeland of the first vampires – as Łukasz Kozak proves in his book “With Stake and Spade”. It was this anthology of folk beliefs and historical sources that inspired the Copenhagen-based studio Those Eyes to create the video game Real Vampires. The premiere of Real Vampires will take place – not coincidentally – on Halloween, 31 October 2025.
