AVANTGARDENERS · CUBE RADIO · SOURCE
I'll be presenting works at care & action | ARTS of Change – Change of CODE, the FLUVIALE exhibition and symposium in collaboration with forum n, at WEST Reallabor FASSFABRIK, Vienna.

An audiovisual transmission from the avantgarden in progress. Voxel flower fields, moving cube configurations and fragments form a shifting environment inhabited by unfamiliar lifeforms. A new electronic soundtrack accompanies this ongoing game of cultivation, transformation and clues.
A special version of the project developed for the symposium, bringing its synthetic ecology, mutable bodies and mysterious game into a longer audiovisual sequence. Inspired by solarpunk.

Happy to share documentation from AVANTGARDENERS at ✶MMC KIBLA / KiBela✶
The gardeners are engaged in a mysterious game. Each face of a cube reveals a different stage, carrying clues about devices, tools and fragments of an unknown system. Custom-made water labels and digital prints extend the imaginary game into physical space.
Gaming culture becomes more than a visual language. Collectible-card frames, character interfaces and game objects form a system for navigating between virtual and physical worlds.
With ✶solarpunk✶ as one point of reference, the gardens revisit older technological utopias: visions of technology as a means of transforming the conditions of life. Fountains, artificial environments, protomachines and imaginary systems of abundance begin to grow into new ecologies.
✶CUBE RADIO✶ is an original soundtrack created for the project, an audiovisual transmission from the AVANTGARDEN world.
Many thanks to the KIBLA team for their support and help:

The exhibition runs until 7 November 2026. An upcoming event will be announced soon. Hope to see you there or online!

AVANTGARDEN
A few more images from AVANTGARDEN at TOP Lab Berlin, part of Berlin New Media Week, curated by artist and curator Xristina Sarli.
The images include fragments from the exhibition, the artist talk and guided tour, together with a few moments from the days around the show.
I also included some things encountered on the way: the Boros Collection, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Julia Stoschek Foundation, the Natural History Museum, Kuhlhaus and other places visited during the trip.
Among the images is also KUNSTFORUM International, where ONENESS appears on the cover and throughout the new issue dedicated to Hybrid Identities.
A visual afterword to AVANTGARDEN and a few weeks in Berlin around the exhibition.
