A condensed synopsis of master’s projects from the Art & Science Department.

Works that fathom the interfaces of artistic practice and scientific research. In examining various topics, they show the mutual interrelations between “nature” and humans.

Hanging can be read in the sense of letting-oneself-go … as a metaphor of trust and collaboration. Mutual aid and care reflect the instinct and relationships among species in extreme natural conditions that support each other in coping with survival.

Giving space to others is essential.

Often unheard and suppressed voices, knowledge, and reflections question hierarchies and systemic societal oppressions. Human and non-human visions and perceptions of other life forms as necessary survival mechanisms… plants and bats. Human traumas are embodied and soothed through repetitive micro-movements and relationships with bacterial cultures. Spinning around in a wheel of fortune and dealing with the question “what is this lost soul that everyone keeps going on about?”
