Chiara Passa and Mikuláš Mahr: stillllllife
https://vorspiel.berlin/events/stillllllife
part of Vorspiel 2026

📍 /rosa, Zentrum für Netzkunst (Heidelberger Str. 28, 12059 Berlin, Alt-Treptow/Neukölln)

🗓️ opening reception: Saturday, 31 January 2026 at 18:00

🗓️ open: 1–3 & 9–10 February, 3–7 PM

The exhibition 'stillllllife' presents works by Chiara Passa, a digital artist who has been working in the field since the late 1990s, and Mikuláš Mahr, a young artist who reflects on the role of computers in photography. In their projects, they address the forgotten genre of still life, a tradition that has been carried forward and transformed throughout history.

Returning to Dutch paintings of the 17th century, Mahr uses digital images of luxury goods such as glasses, delicacies, and flowers. In his installation, these objects merely represent the surface of the image, referring to a consumerist, hyper-capitalist economy, much as the paintings once did. However, by working with the desktop surface, the artist explores the potential for playful manipulation and the individual creation of status images.

While in the Baroque period objects depicted in still lifes were understood as inanimate and motionless, in her AR and VR installations Passa sets them in motion. She starts from object-oriented ontology and programming and penetrates deeper into her VR objects. Here, materialities come to life. Where Mahr’s work deliberately isolates objects as image files, Passa’s practice does the opposite. She morphs photogrammetry and 3D scans into a continuous, dynamic environment in, with, and around the object.

Both bodies of work reflect on objects less as static, defined entities and more as open, manipulable configurations that demand to be experienced and interacted with, implying that the only contemporary possibility of still life is movement.

Weniger ist mehr!
Diesen Monat starten wir unser neues Umweltbildungsprojekt.

Wir verknüpfen Umweltbildung mit digitaler Selbstbestimmung, um die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Kauf von Neugeräten und deren Auswirkungen auf unsere Umwelt zu vermitteln.

Wir zeigen, wie durch Reparatur Ressourcen eingespart werden können und wie uns freie Software dabei unterstützt, unsere Geräte länger und selbstbestimmter zu nutzen.

Navigation - Alternative zu Google

In unseren Entdeckerpfaden gibt es eine Navigation von Station zu Station. Per Karte & eigener Beschreibung, aber eben auch per Google. Nicht ganz ideal, aber wir haben viele Nutzende mit geringer Digitalkompetenz.

Voraussetzungen:
- Link navigiert vom aktuellen Standort zum vorgegebenen Ziel
- ohne weitere App bzw. mit der jeweils installierten Navi-App
- sehr simpel (ohne weitere Einstellungen)

Ideen?
