What is going to happen there ?
Frankly, we don’t know :) We hope for an inspirational stimulated emission of ideas (LASER pun intended) through the interdisciplinary exchange of thoughts, tools and workflows. Thanks to the adjacent Open Photonics Makerspace “Lichtwerkstatt”, everything is possible. The results might be for all kind of (prototypical) artworks: be it installations, sculptures, posters, illustrations, zines, comics, games, … all circulating around some photonics aspect. There will be a public exhibition showing the results from the event and on-going work during 2026.
