"Are there any fun events happening tonight?" intends to explore the culture of event consumption in the metropolis. In fact, there are many fun events happening every night, from a variety of organisers, yet the question is continuously asked among friends each night. Each Artist has been curated into the program based on the various mediums they work with, from Poetry, Comedy, Theatrical work and Socially conscious performance. The event will be hosted by Sanford Wintersberger from Sanfordkaraoke, who will play with the idea of the host and what that means for a "successful" event structure.

Künstler, Künstlerin will be presenting four artists performing 30 minute sets in our first feature-based event. The artists are;

Beate Björkengren, Ian Memgård & Zola Gorgon
Ian Mbelle
Alexander Norton and Deer Dianx
Crista Siglin
Sanford Wintersberger

We begin at 9pm and advise people to come around 8:30pm to ensure a seat and a prompt start time. Admission is 3 euros and this money goes back to each Artist who performed and the production of the event.

Künstler, Künstlerin aims to provide a platform for artists of all mediums to express, explore, push and elaborate on their ideas without fear of failure. We work on a community basis working with artists whom are based in Berlin.

Rainbow Unicorn presents Death Star by David Amberg. The video installation investigates themes of authenticity and locality inside a Star Wars video game and tries to grasp how our understanding of these themes is shaped by contemporary digital technology as well as (art)historical images.

Reading: 20:00 by David Amberg

Magnetic North is a performance in transit — always moving, never stationary, a continuum, yet a place where to dwell in the experience of the empty presence.

A reactive system creates a sensorial landscape by tracing the resonant body in interaction with its surrounding frequencies.

Monibi will also talk about routing (yay!), her big enemies (mixing bass and arranging booo), creative strategies (how to move on when you stuck), her workflow (how do get to a finished track) and will show you some of her go-to tools. After the presentation Monibi will do a short showcase. So don't miss that date!

Can robots be leftist? Can bots, algorithms and artificial intelligence help us to scare away these unpopular lobbyists and common trolls from social media, reduce racism, practice alternatives to capitalism, oppose useless norms or empower structurally disadvantaged people?
In this 2-day workshop, we will try to approach not only theoretically, but also tinkering and developing how robots could be anti-discriminatory and solidaric.

Let's build anti-racist, feminist and left-wing robots that are not necessarily more intelligent, but at least less stupid than we are!

On Saturday the 1st February at 7pm NEON KUNST becomes a sound experiment for the third time, as part of our ongoing Sonic Sound Space series.

METACUTS seeks to promote a dialogue between the young and old generations, whilst inviting local and international artists to its stage. Imagine drum and bass and jungle meeting urban bass and dub culture with a focus on the connection between digital and network-based arts and on those, that work with sound and poetry. All associated with club culture. We promise a night of visual artists, creating the subject of the night themselves and bringing back the 90s community on stage again. We'd like to recreate the atmosphere from back in the days and give a new life to a community 90s kids of today.
