Kalliopi Tsipni-Kolaza meeting Joe Namy

Interview

Playing with the unexpected

In Conversation with Barbara Vanderlinden and Kalliopi Tsipni-Kolaza What made Kalliopi’s proposal stand out from the rest?

To me, it feels →

Interview

Watch an Algorithm at Work

In Conversation with Jürgen Mayer H. and Tobias Nolte   Jürgen, what initially sparked your interest in Tobias’ project Mine the Scrap?

A Project By Katharina Rüter

Mossy Haze

In her proposed project Mossy Haze, Katharina Rüter wants to develop an indoor design object that contains and sustains moss, trying both to span and fuse the worlds of architecture, design and nature.

A Project By Amitesh Grover

A Performapedia

Amitesh Grover’s project proposal A Performapedia questions the notion of an archive based on objects and explores how we look at those forms of knowledge that are not embraced by modern archival strategies. The modern archive conventionally relies upon documents, art objects and photographs to build on history. Eventually, these objects themselves become the ‘historical’ →

Installing Seismic Risk of Istanbul

Svenja Schüffler´s project proposal Installing Seismic Risk of Istanbul aims to visualize and discuss the seismic risk of Istanbul from an art-science perspective in the form of a real time simulation. The difficulty of perceiving and communicating seismic risk and the complexity of researching and making decisions in a situation of uncertainty are the main →

A Project By Elise Eeraerts

Burning Mass

Elise Eeraerts’ proposed project Burning Mass is a film following the making of a vast site-specific sculpture in its original, natural environment.

A Project By Kabir Carter

FdK Actions or the People’s Polymorph

Kabir Carter’s proposed project FdK Actions or the People’s Polymorph entails a personal yet societal engagement with the automobile brand Volkswagen.
