Internship

Research Internship: Secretopia

Research on the wonders of bodily secretions in art and science

Secretopia is Mediamatic’s inquiry into human secretions through art, science and design. After exploring the potential of urine in The Pis’ Project, we decided to expand the programme to all sorts of human secretions. And where bodily secretions can still be a taboo topic, it further encourages artists and scientists alike to explore more into this field in a multidisciplinary manner. Are you inspired by innovative designs and  pursue them into a series of talks, workshops, exhibitions, and performances? Apply for the internship within the secretopia research project at Mediamatic!
