This open lab maps public panic concerns and solutions through creative expression. It begins with grounding techniques to create a safe space for open dialogue. In small groups, participants share personal “night terrors,” which are written on canvas and later integrated into a video mapping performance. The open lab fosters connection, expression, and collective action, with the physical results displayed in the ASTER+S exhibition room at the University of Arts Linz.

ASTER+S: Art, Science, Technology, Engineering: Research for + with Society
ASTER+S is a research project that responds to emerging social challenges by promoting transdisciplinary dialogue within the Art-Science-Technology-Society synergy. It fosters co-creation, science-art communication, and cultural innovation, aiming to awaken synergistic vocations, computational, creative, and critical thinking. On the one hand, this is achieved through the creation of artworks using the signature “eco-SciArt method” and on the other hand, through the development of STEAM projects applying the own “eco-STEAM method.”
