We’re happy to introduce Pfadfinderei/PFA Studios as part of the lineup for Body of Work 3. @pfa__studios Founded in Berlin in 1999, Pfadfinderei is a collective of artists working across graphic design, animation, technology, and communication. The studio first emerged through its distinctive vector-based graphic language, creating flyers, posters, and visual identities for Berlin’s rapidly evolving electronic music scene. Early collaborations with labels, clubs, and artists such as BPitch Control, Modeselektor, Paul Kalkbrenner, and WMF helped shape the visual culture surrounding the city’s club movement. In the early 2000s, Pfadfinderei expanded its practice beyond graphic design into live visuals and spatial experiences. Their ā€œLablandā€ event series, created together with Modeselektor, brought together electronic music and audiovisual performance, featuring acts like Jamie Lidell, Apparat, Phon.o, Hermann & Kleine, Monolake, FranƧois Chalet and Bowling Club. They held VJ residencies at venues such as WMF and Watergate, establishing the collective as a key force in Berlin’s developing Live AV scene. Over the following years, their work evolved into stage design, touring visuals, and large-scale productions for artists including Moderat, Paul Kalkbrenner, Tiga, and Boys Noize, with major commercial acts including U2 and Sunrise Avenue commissioning Pfadfinderei’s content for their stadium tours. Pfadfinderei has also developed installations, exhibitions, and brand experiences for institutions and companies such as Porsche, Deutsche Bahn, Volvo, and MINI. Today, Pfadfinderei/PFA Studios operates as a multidisciplinary studio at the border of graphic design, moving image, stage design, and interactive environments. # Body of Work 3: Post-Rave Aesthetics šŸ—“ļø Thu 19 March 2026 šŸ“@studio1111berlin šŸ”—šŸ”—šŸ”— Event link in bio with Colors And The Kids @colorsandthekids Sam Madhu @sam_madhu DJ sets by @kintel.plays and @femthered #bodyofworkworldwide #creativeberlin #berlindesign

THUR 19 MAR 8PM BODY OF WORK VOL. III DIGITAL ART NIGHT This edition of Body of Work, in collaboration with Studio 1111, explores Post-Rave Aesthetics — tracing how the visual language of 1990s rave culture continues to shape contemporary design and digital environments. The evening unfolds as a talk hosted by Dr Amelia McConville, alongside visual presentations by Colors And The Kids and Pfadfinderei. Moving between graphic design, motion, sound, and immersive installation, their work reflects how underground club experimentation has evolved into the visual systems that shape music culture and contemporary creative practice today. Following the talk and visuals, the night transitions into DJ sets by KINTEL and FEMRED, carrying the atmosphere from screen to dance floor.

Hi there šŸ‘‹ I’m so glad to present to you the lineup for BODY OF WORK 3: Colors And The Kids @colorsandthekids PFA Studios @pfa__studios SAM MADHU @sam_madhu with DJ sets by KINTEL (@kintel.plays ) REDFEM (@femthered ) Thursday March 19 at Studio1111 @studio1111berlin More event and artist details coming soon Sign up now on the event link in bio šŸ”—šŸ”—šŸ”— The event’s theme: ā‡ļø POST-RAVE AESTHETICS ā‡ļø POST-RAVE AESTHETICS looks at how the visual language of 1990s rave culture continues to shape contemporary design. Emerging from an intersectional access to early digital software, DIY flyers, VJ culture, club-born experimentation, and internet 1.0, rave aesthetics developed its own grammar: raw typography, signal distortion, synthetic textures, a future-facing obsession with rhythm, repetition, and intensity. Today, those visual instincts live on: refined, abstracted, and recontextualized across music videos, brand identities, motion systems, and large-scale digital environments. What was once underground now circulates globally, influencing how international market energy, subcultures, and futurity are communicated in visual form. Body of Work 3 explores that transition. With artists influenced by club culture, the one-hour talk session (hosted by Dr Amelia McConville, PhD in Visual Poetry & Visual Poetics with Neurohumanities) examines how experimental, non-commercial practices evolve into sustainable creative careers. How do you preserve an ethos built on freedom, risk, and community while working with international clients? Where does authorship shift, and what remains intact? Hosted at Studio1111, the discussion connects past and present,mapping how post-rave aesthetics continue to inform the visual systems of today, and the professional realities behind them.

"Just as the woman had shouted her refusal at us before, she shouted at me then." THE WATS is about lust, child power and violence. In an apocalyptic desert three travellers encounter a mysterious woman and her child. What begins as both an exhausting and cheerful journey develops into an absurd, but humorous night. A new, genre-spanning music theatre based on "The Woman at the Store" by Katherine Mansfield. The project is funded by the Capital Cultural Fund (HKF) as well as the Losito • Kressmann-Zschach Foundation and supported, among others, by the New Zealand Embassy in Germany.
