INTANGIBLE - in the space between art and science (gallerie rauminhalt)

(Yogi & Marcus)

As a central part of our innovative outreach strategy, we collaborated with the Viennese art & science collective The ZoNE and nexus_art + science. Our main outreach event was an exhibition at gallerie rauminhalt in Vienna that took place from Mar 28 to May 3, 2025.

Our exhibition “INTANGIBLE” brought together artists, scientists, and philosophers to explore one big question: what makes life different from machines?

The exhibition turned complex scientific and philosophical ideas into experiences through art installations, videos, and interactive displays. Visitors were invited to think about:

• The Ontology of the Undefinable – how to face the limits of what we can know and express about life.
• Beyond the Age of Machines – a book project concerned with why living beings have their own agency and self-organization, unlike artificial systems.
• Worldmaking – how each organism shapes its own world through actions and experiences.
  

Events associated with the exhibition included guided tours with artists and scientists, a “Philosophers’ Day,” and a new art–science salon with talks and performances.

The aim of our outreach is not just to show art or explain science, but to create a lasting dialogue between the two—opening up new ways of thinking about life, knowledge, and our place in the world.
