It is the aim of the project to show that cultural life/survive can be redefined and made possible through exchange rather than demarcation. The basic question of this artistic research proceeds from this Archimedean point, therefore: How can we achieve a fundamental connection between human and nature as expressed, for example, in the view of the relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm? How can we strengthen this connection through art? Places of exchange/interviews: Iceland, Finland, Egypt, South Africa, Argentina, Italy, Thailand.

It was designed to engage and mobilize citizens to demand information from institutions and public representatives via social media. We did this by utilizing channels already available in an innovative way to push forward a meaningful cause that would directly contribute to citizens’ well-being and would increase institutional transparency and accountability.

More than 500 people asked governmental representatives specific questions on critical matters that are vital to their lives. Today, citizens still choose the #podumedite (#Iwanttoknow) to demand answers and to end the obscurity surrounding many important issues in Kosovo.

Games for senior citizens are usually just XXL-versions of well-known board games. They are competitive: one winner, many losers. A well-known pattern for young players. But for patients of dementia, competitive actions mean stress and can be dramatically transferred to caring persons or family. I have developed a cooperative board game especially for this group to enhance social contacts and trust in others, to reminisce by-gone days, find emotional stability and, last but not least, share time and laughter with other players. Statistics show that the number of patients is enormous: in Germany 1.5 million, in Europe 7.6 million with numbers on the rise. That means that patients can be found in every culture and language.

The Common Study Program: Commons, Ruralities and Feminisms was born as an active listening space for the production and exchange of knowledge with a structure that translated experiences of government of the common, specifically of the communities of the Galician mountains, to a community of learning whose mission was to generate new narratives in the crossing of epistemic areas: commons, ruralities and feminisms. To get the crossing we facilitated an exchange of knowledge between spheres of knowledge that are traditionally unconnected: university, contemporary art and social movements. We have generated a critical space of learning about ways to live the rural; we have looked for genealogies of the women – subalternized historically – in the defence of the earth and we learnt ways of government of rural areas.

H2arvester is an array of solar panels, assembled on a light weight structure and supported on wheels, randomly moving or on rails between the livestock, crops and across ditches. The solar energy can be processed into hydrogen (H2) and stored locally. The solution to convert the generated kWh directly into hydrogen ensures not just an autonomous functioning installation, but is also a solution for the need to balance the production and use of generated energy while ensuring no electricity network reinforcements. Because the solar power plant is mobile, it can be seen as one extra crop in rotational cultivation that many arable farmers use. The variant where the installation ‘creeps’ across the land is literally double use of agricultural land.
