Sonic Migrations
Sonic Migrations is an intimate electroacoustic ritual where touch becomes music. The body maps a shifting journey through memory and place, activating sound fragments, echoes of travel and imagined landscapes shaped in real time.
Gallina will participate in the One-to-One Art residency in summer 2025.
The work will also be shown at the One-to-One Festival in Oeiras, Portugal in November.
Eva Nina Lampič (SVN/DEU)
Inside
Inside is reconstruction of a past or future dream created from the audience’s memories and imagination – A collaboratively developed imaginary travel with possible and impossible people, objects and places.
Lampič will participate in the One-to-One Art residency in summer 2025.
The work will also be shown at the One-to-One Festival in Oeiras, Portugal in November.
Aapo Nikkanen (FIN/FRA)
Joy Machines
In Joy Machines the audience is hypnotised and comes into contact with a machine that can produce happiness with the touch of a button, allowing the hypnotised subjects to go through intense sensory experiences of happiness. The work reflects on contemporary anxiety, the search for happiness, and our increasingly complex – and not necessarily healthy – relationship with new technologies. Joy Machines will feature an original sound design by Raudie McLeod.
Nikkanen will participate in the One-to-One Art residency in summer 2025.
Rebecca Evans / Pell Ensemble (GBR)
Hinterlands
Hinterlands is a 1:2:1 mixed reality headset experience on the speculative futures of human evolution. A dancer and a participant co-create a unique journey, where virtual layers move over the real world, and connections with yourself, the other and the environment can change.
ROOM 100: (Antonia Kuzmanić, Jakov Labrović) (HRV/ESP)
C8H11NO2 (2.0)
ROOM 100’s performance invites the “audience-of-one” to reflect on their role in shaping—and being shaped by—others’ identities, questioning how individuality is formed and how others impact our identity, mental health, and sense of self.
The work will also be shown at the One-to-One Festival in Oeiras, Portugal in November.
Inês Magalhães (PRT)
AGORA
AGORA transforms drawing into an intimate journey between artist and participant. In this one-to-one encounter, each line maps our shared present moment, creating a visual cartography of connection and presence.
The work will also be shown at the One-to-One Festival in Oeiras, Portugal in November.
Jaakko Autio (FIN)
Nature Within
Nature Within reveals your inner world as a digital twin. Particles guided by your brainwaves move in real-time according to the intensity of your emotions and intentions, transforming your invisible consciousness into a visual experience. Please note that if the hair is particularly thick, especially around the temples, the EEG sensors may not make proper contact with the skin.
The work will also be shown at the One-to-One Festival in Oeiras, Portugal in November.
Harri Piispanen (FIN)
Barn landscape
Barn landscape is a miniaturized version of a traditional Finnish barn, once a common sight, now becoming a rare relic of the past. In this work, the barn comes to life, rising from the lake to see the world again. Barn landscape combines performance, video, and installation, centered around a small model barn.
Katri Rauanjoki (FIN)
You, me and Aristoteles
Where does your journey begin and where does it find its peak? You, me and Aristoteles is an intimate meeting of two people and a story. Bring a situation or an important memory to the table. Then decide which part of the story it is: a beginning, end or turning point. We´ll find other parts of the story together and in the end I will tell it to you – as it reveals itself at the very moment.
Signe Levä (FIN)
Hands
A dance of hands, a concert of touch and friction, a wind from one skin to another. A salute, farewell, love and appreciation for my further disabling hands and fingers.
Eva Holts (UKR)
Take my love
Take My Love is a performance that explores love stories across different types of relationships — LGBTQ+, military and civilian, joyful and dramatic. During the performance, visitors can choose an object that speaks to them and read or listen to the love story connected to it.
The work will also be shown at the One-to-One Festival in Oeiras, Portugal in November.
