Microcosm

In Microcosm, circus and cosmos meet in a sensorial performance. Through movement and sound, an experience of the eternal cycles and ruptures of the universe and our own impact on it is created. The work becomes a journey between body and cosmos, between micro-worlds and galaxies, where humanity's place in the universe takes center stage.

Microcosm was developed for the NAVET Student Festival 2025, and presented at Teknkiska Museet in October 2025.

The Collective Interaction Imprinter

The Collective Interaction Imprinter (CII) är en maskin där du bjuds in att bidra med en viskning och en blick. Ditt bidrag blandas anonymt med andras och blir en del av ett gemensamt verk, inbäddat i och presenterat från byggnadens vägg.

The Collective Interaction Imprinter (CII) is a machine that invites you to contribute a whisper and a gaze. Your contribution is anonymized and blended with others to become part of a collective work, embedded in and presented from the building’s wall.

Going Todash

Going Todash is a site-specific sound installation, inviting the listeners to freely witness the acoustic space of the reactor hall in pure perception of the sound.

Going Todash is programmed during NAVET WEEK as part of our Student-led events initiative.

Labyrinten vid Tibble

This project takes as its point of departure the ancient labyrinth located on the outskirts of Västerås. Frozen in time since the Viking era, the site emanates a mystical atmosphere, charged with the loneliness and uncertainty characteristic of liminal spaces – transitional environments designed for change. The performance provides an individual and introspective experience, merging interactivity with space, time, and motion. As visitors enter the labyrinth and listen to the evolving sonic landscape, they embark on a journey that gradually shifts from the ethereal to the uncanny, as the simple act of walking transforms into one of spatial and perceptual disorientation. Along the path, participants encounter spheres equipped with sensors that react to movement. They are invited to pick them up, explore them, and return them to any location within the labyrinth, subtly reshaping the environment for those who follow. The experience culminates in the walk back toward the entrance, emerging from disorientation and sensing how clarity progressively returns. This transition connects the musicality of the installation with the audience’s inner journey, closing the experience with a renewed awareness of place, presence, and transformation.

Labyrinten vid Tibble is programmed during NAVET WEEK as part of our Student-led events initiative.

Articulation No. 2 – Wishing on a star

Experience a large-scale interactive sound and light installation where we explore how we can stage the feeling of seeing a shooting star. An event that can evoke emotions in many people. Here, space's promise of wishes is juxtaposed with contemporary issues of exploitation and colonization: from trips to Mars to moon tourism.

Articulation No. 2 – Wishing on a star was developed for the NAVET Student Festival 2025, and presented at Teknkiska Museet in October 2025.

Artistic Agency and Autonomy in Collective Art-Making A Long Table with Carolina Jinde

We will explore sonic agency, collective authorship, and shared responsibility in artistic practice. Through a Long Table discussion hosted by Carolina Jinde, we will listen, discuss, and think together about how sound and listening can open new ways of working collectively in film and art-making.

A Space to W(o/a)nder

Nowadays, if you are lucky, looking up in the sky, you can see shiny luminal dots shimmering at you from afar... It takes years or thousands of years for their light to reach our planet, but it has served as a symbol of hope and magic for millennia.

"A Space to W(o/a)nder" reimagines the stars as energetically entangled with us, allowing moments of play, connection, and awe.

Come explore the connection of light and movement by dancing with these interactive water orbs or simply watch and enjoy a cosmic soundscape. Let time disintegrate and practice finding joy and rest in observing the uncapturable.

A Space to W(o/a)nder was developed for the NAVET Student Festival 2025, and presented at Teknkiska Museet in October 2025.
