Trauma Mapping

Aksiniya Peicheva (BG)

Trauma Mapping aims to develop a methodology for creating “geographical” maps of physical injuries, illnesses or other kinds of damage experienced by the body. It seeks to explore the inner processes of the suffering of stray animals from the streets of Bulgaria; to look for visual traces, left by traumatic events: their projection on the body, the organism’s reaction, the way the cells are being rearranged by what has happened.

Meditative Symbiosis

Jean Danton Laffert (CL), Karin Astudillo (CL), Camilo Gouet (CL)

Meditative Symbiosis is a trans-disciplinary project that explores the interdependence of a living organism and an electronic system. Composed of containers with plants and sensors inside, a cycle of mutual dependence is created between the growing process of the plants and the dynamic adaptation of the system, the sum of which generates an evolutionary, bio-electronic aesthetic.

Thoughts on Day and Night

Maike Alisha Effenberg (DE)

By extending mechanical models from the 60s, you will find here a new approach towards nature and ecosystems. Contemplate the equality of the energy flow within a machine and within an organism. Both receive their energy from the light, react to it, and save it for processes at night. At least, this is what we think they do. So how much life do we find in a machine and how much construction do we find in nature?
