Two immersive installations by jiawen uffline and by Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan from Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory blur nature's irrational forces with institutional critique and artivism. Both works invite visitors to participate in order to activate them. The exhibition explores ideas of communication and sustainability and create a parallel realm where visitors gain agency.

The works in the exhibition connect questions of interaction, maintenance and yearning with nature as medium, as channel of transmission, and as a site through which existing structures can be transferred into subversive and irrational forms.

Exhibiting artists: Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan (Ljudmila) & jiawen uffline

#Müll ist ein globales Problem – und zwar zu Lande, zu Wasser und in der Luft. Die Spezies Mensch hat es erfunden. Und obwohl wir längst wissen, dass das Problem existenziell für uns und andere Lebewesen auf diesem Planeten ist, tun wir zu wenig dagegen. Kann #Kunst daran etwas ändern? Nein. Aber es kann deinen Blick auf die Welt verändern. Hier sind drei tolle Beispiele der #Littering #Streetart: #WasteLand, "You can't control it" und #Trash #Animals https://t1p.de/cwuyu #artivism
This Yukon artist's beadwork and 'artivism' puts focus on salmon and cultural loss
When the salmon stopped running, Carissa Waugh (Ékè Éwe) started beading. A new short film, "Beading Atsua Ku," shows how Waugh uses her artwork to try to decolonize climate conversations while exploring her connection to salmon, her ancestors and future generations.

"An anonymous group installed an anti-Elon Musk vending machine that dispenses the Epstein Files at SXSW 2026 in Austin, Texas, on Saturday morning.

Mashable witnessed a group of four men installing the piece of guerrilla protest art at the corner of Red River Street and 4th Street in downtown Austin. After a brief installation, passersby started collecting DVDs titled "Elon's Epstein Files." The vending machine is covered with anti-Elon Musk slogans, and messages on the machine say "Grok makes AI child porn free!" and "Our founder Elon Musk is in the Epstein Files.""
