Material inventions drawing out immaterial reactions. Whether in canopies, dusty corners or the lake’s edge, the terrain is laden with artistic booby traps. Try not to get ensnared.
Aeolian – Jakob Kukula
A floating pendulum that transforms the invisible wind into a dance of form and shadow. Sit back and stare. Baaaaahhhhh.
Airhotels – Rooftoptiger
Some Studio Ghibli energy within the Waking Life tree canopy. Unwind within the greenery in Howl’s Floating Airhotel, a permanent, ecodomestic installation cos dreams get uplifted when you sleep midair.
Are you gonna keep coasting along? – Gabrielle Chardigny
How do we find a balance between good thrills and ecocidal collapse? Terrarium teratogenesis, fungal/plant symbiosis turns into rollercoasters. Commentary? Globalised flora extraction or that mushrooms like speed? “Plants are the lungs of the earth, mushrooms its veins” yet the fleeting pleasure of thrills, enjoyed by humans, finds its parallel in the potentially destabilizing impact of us on our ecosystems.
ATwaves – Diana Barra & Sebastião Bizarro
Step back in time and forward in funk. You got a vintage TV-tube, some joysticks and arcade buttons, prepare to surf the sinus wave like Stephanie Gilmore.
Broken Circle – Alex Leroux
Carpentry met concrete, they vibed and got married at the end of the dam. Now in an architectural hug, they’re your gateway through one overflow into the other, from 1962 to tomorrow.
CoCreate with Nature – Pantasia
See your surroundings with the eyes you had as a child. See past what is, to what could be if pixies, fairies and celestial forest spirits cultivated the nooks and crannies of the undergrowth. You can be a landscaping forest spirit too, creator, step forward.
Detalle – VIVA
Nature’s corridor calls you inside it. The only way out is through, or is it? You choose separation if you see the dividing line as external to the dimensions it cuts. Detalle commands focus, pause, quiet, microscopic investigation and an optical undressing of the textures around you.
Fiat Lux.4 – Estudi Antoni Arola
Puts Dr. Evil to shame. The Death Star is so passé. Meet Fiat Lux.4. May the force be with you.
Fuga – Jonathan Dechamp, Virgile Hermelin, Steven Hezard
Come catch your breath, rest those dusty crusty feet, take a hot second to defrenzify. Here the walls are in suspension along with all the naughty kids. Catch that easy, breezy, lemon squeezy energy close to the mirrory shores.
Knetterbar – Miranda
A hidden cove is ready to suck you into whirlpools of unforetold adventure. Like a pubcrawl with the madhatter in the multiverse. Catch a fleeting whisper of mysterious Miranda, the elusive expert in pursuing pointlessness, and don’t forget your fake-aways.
Memories 2 – Ophélie Napoli & Antonin Trézères
At the edge of the Fuga-waters you will find an archaic lens. The clockwise rotating negative space warps our vision into this telescope, challenging our notion of linear time. As John Cage says, “we are not moving towards some kind of goal, we are at the goal and it is moving with us.”
Midsummer Mourama (where the Moura dwell) – Cella Collective, La Cuarta Piel & Public House
At the water’s edge, between Floresta and Marmelada you will meet the Moura Encantada, genies that guard watery thresholds and awaken in midsummer to guide humans through moments of transition.
Mïstlïcht – Cornelis
Escape into a cumulus bed. Who needs to go to the Maldives? Get cosy in a floating, billowing, fabric daydreamers, or contemplate the astral landscape, night-thinkers. Peruse this fusion of escapist fantasies and ethereal realities, drop in for pillow talk, or whisper brave truths behind the veils.
Mood Hood – EO Studio & Sanna Gossy
A self-exploratory ride. Meet the oracle in residence, answer some questions, and maybe touch her tactile ‘feel-boxes‘. A little keepsake on departure awaits.
ILUMIRADOR – Erased Studio
Standing afloat at the festival’s core, rising from our body of water, is the illuminated Monolith. A time-travelling sentinel speaks through glow, you’ll have to tap into moth consciousness to understand it.
Playstation – Mopet Frank
Been spendin’ most their lives, Livin’ in a gamer’s paradise,
Been spendin’ most their lives, Livin’ in a gamer’s paradise..
Recyclable – Matthew Beck
The Gaiain brain connects all the ingredients of second life in sweet, sweet harmony.
SchWirrLicht – RaumZeitPiraten
Spider web illuminations, extraterrestrial firefly incantations, a neuronal circuitboard in the undergrowth, technological abstraction of organic matter is ready to reconnect.
The Act of Waiting – Sunburn Gaze
Literally a bus stop and a lantern in a forest. Do with this what you will.
The Hut – Thomas Ottevaere
It emerged from the bushes last year, an area untouched where one is invited to slow down and take a deep-space-nine, deep breath. A soothing spot for respite. Nothing amplified, nothing obvious.
The Nest – Thomas Ottevaere
A protected bubble, where one can really vibe with nature. Come sink into the deep fridge theta-waves, it’s zen buddhism like you’ve never namastayed there before!
Viveiro – Luis Almeida & Rafael Capitulo
Hanging gardens of Babylon eat your heart out, these floral temples move where the ripples take them. An oasis or a mirage? – please don’t eat the plants.
Voice-in-the-Daark – Jan Zuiderveld
Ever met a house with a personality? But no, like really? Come inside, have a conversation with a disembodied voice in a small dark room. It is shaped by each interaction. It learns.
Wavering Reflections – Floor Windels
Chromotherapy. Fractality, polyhedral cross-sections of light. The rainbow distilled. Resonance with optical frequencies is optional but highly encouraged.
