Between April 2025 and December 2026, Art Laboratory Berlin is unfolding the new innovative project CHRYSALIS. ARTISTS IN LABS with an interdisciplinary exchange between art and science in Berlin science laboratories, supported by Lottostiftung Berlin: Artist-in-lab residencies for four internationally recognized, Berlin-based artists – Helena Nikonole, Julius Holtz, Sybille Neumeyer, and Margherita Pevere. The four chosen artists are all well known for their outstanding artistic research at the interface of art, science, and technology. Each is highly experienced in integrating art with new technologies and collaborating with scientists in fields such as neuroscience, artificial intelligence, climate science, soil ecology, and biodiversity. We expect strong outcomes in transdisciplinary knowledge transfer, artistic research, art science communication, and some new artworks critically highlighting 21st-century innovations.

Join the presentation of our current research project CHRYSALIS. ARTISTS IN LABS at the Berlin Science Week 2025 (Holzmarkt 25) on 8 November 2025, 1 – 2:30pm. We will give an insight into Berlin-based artists researching in Berlin science labs – with topics on neuroscience, artificial intelligence, biodiversity, and ecology! More information HERE.

Planting Futures, Sharing the Harvest
- An Exhibition by the Weltacker Youth Council at Art Laboratory Berlin
The exhibition explores how art, cooking, and collective action can become fertile ground for change. We want to make art edible, inspire reflection, and raise awareness. The exhibition is accompanied by a supporting program of talks, communal cooking, and free workshops. The project will show artistic works on sustainable food and global food systems – from cyanotypes and prints to an interactive tablecloth and communal cooking.

CAPSIZE CHRONICLES
- Art, Science, and the Oceanic World
- Rachel Mayeri
Rachel Mayeri’s newest project is an experimental video work about the R/P FLIP, which stands for Research Platform FLoating Instrument Platform (1962-2023), the world-famous nautical rarity that flips 90 degrees to become a live-in buoy for studying the ocean. The FLIP was designed for stability to study acoustics in a turbulent ocean, yet ironically the interior is fluid, built for living both in horizontal and vertical orientations.
