Somatic Circuits @ Festival der Zukunft, Deutschen Museum München
02.07. - 05.07.2026
Somatic Circuits is an interactive artwork bridging art and science. It draws inspiration from bioelectronic implants developed at Fraunhofer IZM that use ultrasound and electric fields to stimulate and record neural signals, as well as artist Marlot Meyer’s exploration of technology to reveal unseen connections between bodies. Curated by Art Claims Impulse the work invites participants to wear inflatable neuron-inspired forms that emit ultrasound and respond to sound, forming a living neural network while deepening bodily awareness, collective connection and public understanding of bioelectronics.

Jörg Piringer at Lettretage
read me, citiy / luft 1 VIEW
read me, city is an interdisciplinary literature and media art project that treats urban space as a writable surface: language appears on posters, asphalt, walls, and LED displays, where it is documented, displaced, and recontextualized. The Berlin presentation at Lettrétage is conceived as a literary evening in which performative reading and projections of image and video works interact. Spoken text, urban interventions, and digital transformations enter into an open dialogue, where writing becomes voice, image becomes text, and public space becomes a space of resonance. The program combines reading and projections and runs for approximately 50–60 minutes. 21.05.26 19:30.
