A Hidden Variable

What's the last time you had a deep conversation with someone from a completely different field? The more experienced you get at your vocation, the more difficult it is to remember other perspectives. Science and art, for example, are today often seen as complete opposites - a myth that we want to bust 🎨🔬 At @a.hiddenvariable , we bring together scientists, artists, technologists, cultural workers and many others, helping people to truly see each other's work, have an interesting conversation and - hopefully - spark a new connection. #scienceart #sciart #sciencecommunication #interdisciplinary #creativity

Individual: Technical Issue 2.0 | A Portrait of the Human Condition DE Was geschieht mit der menschlichen Erfahrung, wenn wir unseren endgültigen Übergang nicht mehr als spirituelles Schicksal betrachten, sondern als „technischen Fehler“ behandeln? Seit Jahrtausenden wurde das menschliche Ende durch eine kollektive Abstammungslinie geregelt – die „Große Kette des Seins“. Die Aufklärung und die industrielle Revolution trennten diese Verbindungen und ließen das zeitgenössische Subjekt als isoliertes „Atom“ zurück, das mit der unmöglichen Aufgabe belastet ist, seine eigene Existenz aufrechtzuerhalten. In diesem modernen Paradigma haben wir den biologischen Körper als Maschine und das Altern als Fehler definiert, der behoben werden muss. EN What happens to the human experience when we stop viewing our final transition as a spiritual destiny and start treating it as a "Technical Failure"? For millennia, the human end was managed through a collective lineage—the "Great Chain of Being." The Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution severed these links, leaving the contemporary subject as an isolated "atom" burdened with the impossible task of sustaining its own existence. In this modern paradigm, we have reframed the biological body as a machine and aging as a bug to be debugged. #ContemporaryArt #BioArt #Sculpture #BerlinArt #Thermodynamics #ErwinSchrödinger #MetabolicScience #ConceptualArt #QuantifiedSelf #MedicalHumanities #Individualism #Mortality #ArtResearch

A few moments from last week's "Death? Yes/No/ Maybe" exhibition by @a.hiddenvariable at @culterim_spaces Gesundbrunnen. Thanks to everyone who came by and @a.hiddenvariable team for making it happen by binding such a lovely cross-disciplinary community! 💙 I'm quite happy I got to make pics with many of my friends who visited, which I always miss on doing. Thanks @subversive_intellect for this shot 📸 🪩 Looking forward for the next experience🧜🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏾‍♂️ . . . . . . #berlinbased #artopening #femaleartists

Thank you to everyone who took part in "Death? Yes/ No/ Maybe" - the latest art-science festival by @a.hiddenvariable ! Hundreds of visitors and participants, months of work by the team - to bring you the new format of #scienceart and #sciencecommunication at the cross-disciplinary borders. The team spent yesterday packing and cleaning the venue (ah, the things we do for art...) - but we are already thinking about the next event 🔬🎨

My work "Mycornucopia" doing quite well on a pedestal for the first time, now on view. It started during lockdown as a way to pass the time, more habit than ambition, no grand plan whatsoever, just something to work on while everything else was on pause. I didn't really imagine it would end up in a gallery setting. Seriously, maybe just a tiny bit of hopeful thinking, that was it, but here we are. It still feels like the same piece to me, just in a slightly better company. Glad to be part of this Berlin show with artists from across Germany with different backgrounds. Chemnitz and Munich came first, Berlin took its time. This one feels a little closer to home, metaphorically, and definitely, literally! @a.hiddenvariable

Some moments from the Art & Science Festival „Death? Yes/No/Mayby“ organised by @a.hiddenvariable ✨ I’ve been filming an art vlog during the event — will be editing it and sharing soon 🙌 Featuring the artists seen in this video (in order of appearance): @xristinasarli @alaleresteux @gulfemcetincapci @jiagual.art @avasciart @jan.sladecko @subversive_intellect @aamaterra.art #berlinart #contemporaryart #artcollector #visualart

Have you ever wondered what it takes to organise an exhibition with over 50 artists, lectures, performances and VR? Well, here's your chance to find out in this glimpse behind the scenes at the "Death? Yes/No/Maybe" exhibition by @a.hiddenvariable 🔬🎨 From the curatorial team to artists and speakers, around a hundred people (!) have contributed to making this a reality. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone who has shaped this event and brought the best of science-art to hundreds of visitors 🫀

Some of my favourite moments from "Death? Yes/No/maybe" there were so many so it is really hard to select just a fue for the Instagram post. It is very challenging to be curator of @a.hiddenvariable but simultaneously very rewarding. It is amazing to have such a wonderful and engaged community and I am really thankful for all of you. Especially for the wonderful dedicated people who co-organised this event with me: @subversive_intellect @im.gruenen.salon @lufo.art @avasciart 🥰hope we will organise much more wonderful events together. Special thank you to amazing people who supported my work: @davidaldave @adbahn @kermittesoro @__n_i_c_k___f_i_o_r_e_n_z_a__ And giant thank you to all the artists and scientist who took part🥰 I hope all those new connections will grow to strong friendships and long term collaborations. If you haven't visited yet exhibition is still on till Wednesday 25th🥰

Another day - another awesome program at @a.hiddenvariable on the intersection of science, philosophy and art

We've had so many engaging conversations over the last few days at "Death? Yes/No/Maybe" by @a.hiddenvariable ! If you're interested in #scienceart - this is the place to be 🔬🎨

LONGEVITY AND AI // So happy to share that I’m exhibiting today in Berlin! ✨ I’m part of the group exhibition “Longevity & Artificial Intelligence”, curated by Sonia Gil, as part of the festival “Death? Yes / No / Maybe” — a beautiful intersection of science and art. This is my very first time exhibiting in Berlin, and it means a lot to me 🤍 Even more special is being part of a group of ten women artists whose work I truly admire. I feel honored to be showing alongside: @annieverse @carmitdesignstudio @barrenecheateliergalaxy @byjo.ai @soniagil.studio @notitletest @hanne.vanbriel.ai @velvet_kaoru @conniebakshi — @a.hiddenvariable @alaleresteux 📍 Culterim Space Rossman, Berlin 🕔 Opening today at 5 PM 🎟 Free entry If you’re in Berlin, I’d love for you to come by 💫 #BerlinArt #WomenArtists #artandtechnology #luceononuro #entertheaivoid

A #exposição Death? Yes/No/Maybe começa hoje! Em exibição em #Berlim, no @culterim_spaces — Culterim | Spaces | Rossmann, de 20 a 25 de março de 2026. Apresento duas obras que integram a instalação total — Small Laboratory to Recreate Humans. Not Enough, 2025 Arquivo digital FullHD, imagens de arquivo e originais filmagem, montagem de testemunhos reais, 5:18 Not Enough reúne imagens da artista e de arquivos como o Internet Archive, articuladas a partir de testemunhos reais coletados para a instalação Small Laboratory to Recreate Humans, 2025. O filme reflete sobre o tempo como construção humana, entre memória, urgência e aceleração tecnológica, culminando em uma condição contemporânea persistente: o tempo nunca é suficiente. Body is an Archive as Steam Engine, 2025 Arquivo digital FullHD, imagens de arquivo e originais, 2:36 Body is an Archive as Steam Engine é um poema visual onde mundos humano e mecânico se fundem em silêncio. A partir da canção Acabou a Luz (Solsaio, 2003, Brasil), narrada por Carlos A. Correia, o filme justapõe 19 corpos nus — anônimos e filmados de costas — a imagens de arquivo em um fluxo contemplativo. A obra reflete sobre memória, finitude e o corpo como arquivo. Regarding the exhibition, I share the text from Culterim Spaces Rossmann: The exhibition "Death? Yes/No/Maybe" explores humanity's relentless pursuit of immortality through the intersection of contemporary art, scientific research, and speculative practice. Bringing together visual artworks, live performances, immersive environments, and participatory experiences, the exhibition examines how the desire to transcend biological limits is reshaping culture, identity, and the future of the human body.
