LABORATORY · 18 m²

Experiments, workshops, and theoretical dialogue

The LABORATORY is the participatory extension of Martina Moon Zelenika’s artistic practice. Beginning with drawing, sound, audiovisual media, materials, and computational processes, it creates a setting for collective research into perception, transformation, and the relationships between human, more-than-human, and technological worlds.

Each encounter combines practical experimentation, attentive observation, and guided conversation. Questions of the cosmos, nature, post-digital reality, and inner experience are approached not only through theory, but through direct artistic practice.
