Gökçe Göbüt: 
unknot
multimedia art installation 
 
Unknot explores the right to produce knowledge and how knowledge is created, categorized, translated, and shared. It proposes a speculative playground built from a synthesized language combining knot theory, Anatolian hieroglyphs, and equivalence notations, forming a cognitive space that stretches information between legibility and illegibility. Rather than aiming for faithful translation or static information transfer, the work focuses on what is lost in transmission, the gaps, residues, and uncertainties, generated as knowledge moves between bodies and systems. It imagines a custom interface where translation and transmission occurs through breath, inviting embodied engagement with incompleteness.
 
 
Janine Scheer-Erb: 
sun bed
multimedia art installation & performance
 
How to believe the sun is there when it is not warm on your skin? 
sun bed is an installation and performance using worlding, relational networking, and poetic translation to imagine a parallel world where the sun is missing. Only 99 hours of sunlight a year leads to a world where heliocentric rituals, adapted nature, and artificial lights emerge as artifacts of a culture of longing. A wind-gifted origin book acts as the base for imagining this parallel world. Rather than fixed narratives, the work emphasizes gaps in perception, what remains uncertain between profane and sacred, inviting navigation through belief‘s fragile illusions via sonic, visual, and choreographic transmissions.
