They published a bilingual (Hungarian, English) book (2019), Extrodaesia. Encyclopedia for a World Superseding Anthropocentrism. The aim of the book is to present the knowledge gathered during the earlier projects, to provide philosophical-theoretical texts, literary and artistic works for an all-round interpretation of the Anthropocene. It is not a customary encyclopedia but rather an attempt to interpret basic concepts of the discourse on climate change with theoretical definitions, poems and graphic works. The authors take Extrodaesia to mean “a transmedial work in which various layers of knowledge enter into dialogue with each other.”” ‘Together with other artists (András Cséfalvay, Tamás Kaszás, Kata Dóra Kiss, Csilla Nagy, Ádám Ulbert), the group xtro realm composed a project for the Off Biennial Budapest 2021, the ACLIM! Climate Imagination Agency (https://aclim.hu/) and its exhibition at the Atelier Pro Arts Gallery.” They described their project as follows: “Can we grasp the ecological crisis via local phenomena? What knowledge can an ecological network researcher, an environmental psychologist and an artist represent together? How can this help us to comprehend our present and the possible future? Answers to such and similar questions are the objective of ACLIM! Climate Imagination Agency founded by the artistic group xtro realm. The research-based works and transdisciplinary theoretical materials in the institution elaborate on the most pressing ecological issues. It is more and more urgent to seek local perspectives and alternative images of the future to reinterpret our situation under the threat of the climate crisis. Whether humankind survives is only one of the questions; the social frames in which we will survive is also questionable. The economic and political interests causing the exploitation of the ecosystem are not only responsible for the ruination of our habitat, but they also constrain the faculty of social imagination On this, see: Siiveges Rita 2020: Beyond the Postcard: an Ecocritical Inquiry on Images of Nature. http://mezosfera.org/beyond-the-postcard:-an-ecocritical-inquiry-on-images-of-nature/ https://dunszt.sk/2020/08/08/extrodaesia-enciklopedia-eligazodni-egy-emberkozpontusagotmeghaladni-vagyo-vilagban/?fbclid=IwAR0oyUMMa4Hx-AWcLEOX5MPITIRWtyw76xCi5mFK9kxSl4rEsxRCP5m0-U https://archive.offbiennale.hu/2021/projects/aclim.html. 26
