Artists Bright Night

Sena Oh (VJ) is a Korea-born, Berlin-based visual explorer. Her creative approach is fueled by a deep fascination with immersive digital experiences and their underlying processes. Drawing on both Eastern and Western cultural references, she creates layered visual narratives that blur the lines between real and unreal, logic and absurdity — all through a pataphysical lens.

7pm-8pm Evan Roth (sky meditation) Over the past twenty years, Evan Roth has created paintings, installations, photographs, and videos to challenge our perceptions of typically unseen aspects of the systems and landscapes that surround us. With his ‘Skyscapes' series, he combines a systems of measurement and control alongside a personal exploration of mental health to invite viewers to experience an unfamiliar rendering of the natural beauty above us. As this series developed, a natural connection formed between his work with the sky and his work with breath in meditation, leading him to develop a short visual guided meditation that uses the sky as a tool for focussing the mind. ‘Sky Breathing and Horizon Walking’ is meant for anyone interested in experimenting with art and meditation. Super-low key, no experience necessary.

cancelled due to illness 10.45pm-11.15pm Messy Shivers & Arno Schubert (live) Raised in New Jersey, the early memories of Mezzy Shivers are flooded with deciduous trees and murky rivers, pot-holed highways and flickering street lamps. Her media intake consisted of horror films, bubblegum pop, and fantasy books. As a result, discovering her work is akin to stumbling upon a dark and dreamy rabbit hole. Through the mediums of sound, collage, performance, and writing, Shivers creates an echoing realm of flashbacks and fantasy.
