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

🎉 Ah, #Brussels, land of #bureaucracy and world-class #waffles, where even an age-checking app gets hacked faster than you can say "bonjour." 🚀 Two minutes to break? That's one minute less than it takes for the #EU to form a subcommittee to investigate why apps keep getting hacked. 😂💻

Just another hidden problem of bureaucratic systems that aren't based on reality that get corrupted.
