The 2013 theme of 'Nature's Dialogue' explores the intersection between artistic perspectives, the principles of natural design and community dynamics. This thematic framework is drawn from biomimicry; using the inspiration of nature for innovation in the creative industries, science, technology and culture.

Floating Land stands for a future of mutual respect, harmony and sustainability.
