Bioelectric Experience (working title)
Official launch of the “Bioelectric Experience” project collaboration between Fraunhofer IZM, Art Claims Impulse, and Marlot Meyer.
The connection between art and science is often shaped by different working methods, which means that a harmonious mutual understanding does not always arise automatically. This makes it all the more valuable when both fields come together as equal partners to explore new pathways.
Under the working title “Bioelectric Experience”, artist Marlot Meyer, the gallery Art Claims Impulse, and Fraunhofer IZM researchers Prof. Dr. Vasiliki (Vasso) Giagka and Dr. Max Marwede are shaping this collaboration from the very beginning on equal terms. Their innovative, collaborative approach has already received recognition through a successful funding approval and illustrates the added value that genuine partnership can bring to interdisciplinary projects.
The project is still in its early stages and aims to create an interactive installation. The final title will emerge during the shared artistic and scientific process—reflecting the idea that naming itself is part of the creative journey. The participants invite you to accompany this exciting exploration at the intersection of technological innovation and aesthetic experience.

Dani Ploeger at Ars Electronica 2025: PANIC MODE: ON shown by V2_, Lab for the Unstable Media
Artist and cultural critic Prof. Dr. Dani Ploeger, presents his latest project as part of the exhibition PANIC MODE: ON at V2_, Lab for the Unstable Media (Rotterdam, Netherlands) at Ars Electronica 2025
In a world characterized by a constant state of emergency, the exhibition features controlled, deliberate “explosions” expressing various states of urgency. Ploeger’s work critically engages with technology, power, and societal conflicts.
A key highlight is his 1:1 scale inflatable replica of the “Fat Man” atomic bomb—equipped with a trigger system linked to a Nokia 105 mobile phone, the preferred device of non-state actors in conflict zones. Ploeger invites the audience to interact with the explosive installation and reflect critically.
Founded in 1981, V2_ is an interdisciplinary center for art and media technology, providing a platform for critical dialogue on the social impact of technological developments.

Technologies of waste, violence and sex in almost possible futures
3 sci-fi short films and lecture performance by Dani Ploeger at MOVIEMENTO CINEMA 3, 6.9.25, Linz.
The Cults (2021) teleports an early 20th century colonial text about a Kenyan anti-European cult to a future technoculture. In a dystopian landscape of endless waste - shot on Dandora dumping site in Nairobi - a European is still scrounging for resources and worshipping standardized digital gadgets. Meanwhile, three women create a mythic lifeworld with reappropriated waste technologies.
16mm, 4:3, 6’12”
In Bunkeridylle (2024), militants hiding in a WW2 bunker in the Dutch countryside build a weapon from the left overs of high-tech culture. Communicating in a regional dialect with foreign accents, they run a techno-folkloristic resistance movement against a centralist government. Inspired by theories on violence by Paul Virilio and Jean Baudrillard, they prepare an ultimate act of symbolic terrorism.
digital video, 2.39:1, 11’57”
The Source (2025) re-imagines a nuclear accident that took place in Georgia in the early 2000s. Members of a matriarchal cult find a mysterious metal object in the forest, which becomes the centre piece of an intimate ritual. At the end of time, a recovery team attempts to extract the lost object from the inferno.

Again and Again and Again at HilbertRaum, Berlin.
Curated by Dave Ball in cooperation with Gallery Art Claims Impulse.
Opening 05.09.25, 6pm -10pm, till 14.09.25
Again and Again and Again is an exhibition that brings together a group of artists who work with repetition. While the speed and ease of AI impresses us with its ever-more accomplished output, its words, images, and sounds move within ever-decreasing circles of statistically probable, bland, and repetitive imitations of what already exists. The artists in this exhibition work with a different kind of repetition, whose recurring and recursive themes and practices spiral outwards in possibility.
