SELECTION ANNOUNCEMENT – CIRCUIT: WORM x De Fabriek x Amarte

We are very excited to share the selected projects for CIRCUIT: WORM x De Fabriek x Amarte.

The final selection was not an easy one, and it required long hours of review and deliberation between representatives from all participating institutions.

We feel deeply honoured to have received so many great applications for our OPEN CALL. Unfortunately, we could only select 4 projects for this trajectory.

We look forward to working with the selected artists over the next three months to help experiment with and realise their ideas, question what we thought we knew already, and strengthen the bond between Rotterdam and Eindhoven in the process.

The selected projects for CIRCUIT are:

“Adormitura” by Raluca Croitoru

Blending 16mm film, movement, and sound, Adormitura engages with decaying modernist-socialist public sculptures of Romania’s seaside resorts to address embodied memory and the ideological role of the body at rest.

“Electroslushy” by Pim Visser and Douwe Teusink

“In a city full of droning signals, we sync up to their rhythms to move with their hidden sounds. Homebuilt circuitry and electromagnetic field scanners provide the tools through which this performance unfolds.”

“The Dead Are Never Inert (رَماد مسكون)” by Raghad Saqfalhait

The Dead Are Never Inert (رَماد مسكون) is a multimedia performance that looks to ash and charred matter in discarded archaeological soils in Palestine, to reconsider how the land is read, inhabited, and valued.

“Third Body” by Maggie Khorami

Third Body is an artistic research project investigating the relationship between biological life and technology, bringing fungal organisms, bioelectrical activity, sound, light, and the human body into an evolving system of coexistence and exchange.
