Open Studios Tempelhof – A Nexus of Digital Revolution

At Open Studio Tempelhof, an initiative in Berlin that brings together hundreds of artists from diverse backgrounds in the heart of Tempelhof’s industrial area, the digital revolution meets physical space. This project, which I had the honor of curating and co-organising with TURBA Factory, FRAKTAL 0.0, and TOP LAB, embraces innovative formats such as bioart exhibitions, VR installations, AI video art, and film festival experiences.

TOP LAB is a dynamic space where artistic experimentation, DIY-DIWO-DITO innovation, and open access knowledge converge. It invites audiences to engage with more-than-human art that not only sparks cultural dialogue but also reimagines ecological futures.

The exhibition at TOP LAB was both hybrid and dynamic, serving as a nexus where the boundaries between digital and organic life blur. Through immersive experiences and multidisciplinary collaborations. Bioart installations challenge us to rethink our relationships with technology and nature alike.
