Stichting Mediamatic
Mediamatic is an art lab that focuses on new developments in art, biology and science. Through art projects, lectures and workshops we bring together the fields of science and art. In our program we challenge the senses and perceptions of food, waste and unconventional materials. In this way we support developments in bio-art and actively contribute to a circular economy. Mediamatic also has a restaurant where themes from the program are translated into very nice (vegan) food.
Inhuman Carnival
The Inhuman Carnival project researches how we can break out of our anthropocentric worldview and learn to have more empathy for other species on the planet. In this project we challenge artists, designers, creators and audiences to dress up themselves and each other as the beautiful species our ecosystem is rich in.
Costume Lab
As part of the Inhuman Carnival project, we run a Costume Lab where we offer all sorts of activities whereby we invite (fashion) designers, artists and complete beginners, to make costumes of the amazing species from our ecosystem. In the Open Costume you are invited to make a costume, offering a place for experimentation and design research on how to mimic various species in fabric and other materials.
