Intelligent Artifacts & Breathing Spaces is the second Modern Body Laboratory edition. In this series we explore emerging themes and ideas in preparation for our next biennial festival edition, and invite you, our public, to brainstorm, experiment and experience with us!

For this event we are very proud to present 4 new commissioned works:
– Cocky Eek explores our research theme ‘Discovering Post-Relational Aesthetics’ with an installation  linking human and breathing matter.
– Tivon Rice explores our research theme ‘Artificial Intelligence as a modern body’ with an installation combining Virtual Reality, texts by the AI ghost of J. G. Ballard, sound, and prints.
– Pete Harden and Floris van Bergeijk compose the first sound works made especially for the Hot Listening Booth, our very own traveling concert venue – a 3-person infrared sauna cabin!

To accompany it, we re-mount the interactive WiFi-radar steam sauna The Water Within, by Stelios Manousakis, in collaboration with Ping-Hsiang Chen.
