Parallax Lab offers a platform for students from TU and UdK to meet, to exchange ideas and knowledge, and to collaborate. In weekly meetings, they offer an open space / autonomous work environment where students can develop and build their own transdisciplinary projects. Together- they combine art and science in innovative ways, breaking down the barriers separating these two fields.This semester’s topic is ‘experimental electronics’ focusing especially on the concepts of sound and light. Our aim is to create artworks on a strong technical basis, and take a look at scientific phenomena in a new light. We will deal with reactive circuits, carry out scientific experiments, and compose creative formulas. Workshops will be offered on supporting skills for project building, and open discussions
are always encouraged. All students from any course (and uni!) are welcomed to come by and find out what we’re about. -
Whistleblowing | A Workshop with Disruption Network Lab
registration at : @
*limited # of participants*
@ Room 9, Hardenbergstrasse 33, 10623The act of whistleblowing is a concrete process able to reveal hidden facts, misconducts and wrongdoings of institutions and corporations, producing awareness about social, political and technological matters, informing about the reality we live in. Following a practice-based research approach, this workshop aims to question what we can collectively offer to encourage a critical debate on the effects of whistleblowing in society, as well as to generate experimental ways of cultural production within the post-digital scenario. The methodology behind the development of the conference and community programme of the Disruption Network Lab , and how they work to make sensitive subjects and networks accessible to a larger public will also be shared in the workshop.
About the Workshop Holders:
Disruption Network Lab:
Examining the intersection of politics, technology, and society, Disruption Network Lab exposes the misconduct and wrongdoing of the powerful, by organising inter-disciplinary conferences at the interface of scholarship and politics and local meetups throughout the year. Presenting the Disruption Network Lab programme in Berlin (www.disruptionlab.org).Tatiana Bazzichelli is founding artistic director, curator, and board member of the Disruption Network Lab. Former programme curator at transmediale festival from 2011 to 2014, she initiated and developed the year-round ‘reSource transmedial culture’ network project. In 2016-2017 she was Visiting Lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, teaching about the interconnection between art, hacking and whistleblowing. She was post-doctoral researcher at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, as part of the Centre for Digital Cultures and in 2011 received a PhD degree in Information and Media Studies at the Faculty of Arts of Aarhus University in Denmark. She wrote the books: Networked Disruption: Rethinking Oppositions in Art, Hacktivism and the Business of Social Networking (2013); Networking: The Net as Artwork (2006/2008), and co-edited Disrupting Business: Art and Activism in Times of Financial Crisis (2013).

Lieke Ploeger is the community director and administration officer of the Disruption Network Lab. She also serves as board member of the Disruption Network Lab e. V.. She is the co-founder of the independent project space SPEKTRUM art science community in Berlin, where she worked as community builder from 2014 to 2018. Her core interest lies in building and developing both online and offline communities of interest, with a focus on sharing knowledge and expertise in an open way. In 2018 she published the manual ‘How we can all make it to the future: A guide to offline community building in art & science’ on the community building process of SPEKTRUM art science community. She previously worked as community and project manager for Open Knowledge International, a global non-profit organisation focused on realising open data’s value to society, and for the National Library of the Netherlands. She has a double master of arts from the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands and has been involved in various European research projects in the areas of open cultural data, open access and open science.

Workshop: Sensing Water
registration at : @
*limited # of participants*
@ Room 9, Hardenbergstrasse 33, 10623description:
Explore the human relationship with water using artistic research techniques that meld together embodied explorations with those mediated by sensing equipment. Led and facilitated by Dr Austen, this workshop introduces participants to two of these artistic research methods that make use of scientific equipment and embodied techniques to connect with water, and facilitates the exploration of local water using these methods.Workshop Structure
// 1-DAY //
1) Introduction to theory and methods:
Introduction of the overarching artistic research practice, and outlines the theory behind chemical sensing of water, and embodied exploration of the non-human other using sound based techniques.~Lunch~
2) Field trip:
Sample collection and exploration.
Workshop participants will explore a nearby body of water, collecting water and audio samples using hydrophones.3) Audio sample recording from water samples
Participants use hacked chemical sensing equipment to generate a library of water audio from water samples collected on the field trip and begin to mix the sounds together to create a soundscape of water.About Facilitator Dr Austen:
Kat Austen is a person. In her artistic practice, she focusses on environmental issues. She melds disciplines and media, creating sculptural and new media installations, performances and participatory work. Austen’s practice is underpinned by extensive research and theory, and driven by a motivation to explore how to move towards a more socially and environmentally just future.

BioTRANSlab: Hacking science for a Transfeminsim narrative
Interflugs is pleased to announce an upcoming workshop “BioTRANSlab: Hacking science for a Transfeminsim narrative” with Paula Pin!
On July 19 + 20 from 13- 17 uhr at Universität der Künste- Room 9, Hardenbergstrasse 33 , 10623
Places are limited for only 10 participants, so if you are interested send an email with your name and few sentences about yourself- titled “BioTRANSlab” to : @
The workshop is free of charge.
Extension from description including in poster:
Day 1 // Introduction of : Techno[i]logikes & trans[hack]feminism , Queering Labs, and Embodiment propioception emergences building_cooperative
Day 2 // Open bioTrans Lab : During the Open Lap we will build together some of the tools/devices from the bIO trANS Lab to experiment with these topics: Build a microscope, DIY / DIWO 3D printing technology, open speculations, and Pornnoisenicolau also (pap stain)
Information about Paula Pin:
Pin is a researcher and artist activist with a strong inclination towards research and experimentation processes with collective and free technologies. Her work emerges from within a scientific tradition of research and experimentation, running throughout drawing to abstract video, circuit bending and lab experiments- located in the intersection where biology, science and queer art collide. Interactive kinetic sculptures, immersible environments, audiovisual installations, performance and direct action are the art disciplines that she has used in her search for developing new channels to communicate desires and sensations, using the physical body as the bridge which connects nature and technology. This activity of workshops, sharing her knowledge and spreading the ethic of DIY and open technology, is an integral part of her practice.
