Video Works & Art at TILLATEC

The club scenography, curated by Tharim Cornelisse & Annelieke Rovers transfigures the Wash Room, creating a shifting light system by combining an audiovisual sculpture of LED lights and stained glass.

After the performances, four video works curated by FIBER will be presented in TILLATEC’s Teclab, made by Lova Ranung, Antonija Vuletic, 2girls1comp, and Vartan Markarian.

Additionally, TILLATEC is running a club-based art residency that transforms the venue into an immersive exhibition environment. During our club night two works will be presented in the Rubber Room, Portal by Beau van Hoydonck and In the Process of Becoming Something Else Entirely by NVDP.

2girls1comp, Dancing Plague

Dancing Plague is a mod for GTA V that forces every male NPC to dance feverishly to the music of Azu Tiwaline whenever the player holds the H key. This intervention spotlights the inherent gender biases within the game’s animation system, where dance moves are primarily designed for female performers, often objectified as sex workers. By redirecting these choreographies to male characters, the mod disrupts the rigid gender binaries coded into the game, creating a spectacle where masculinity is both liberated and challenged.

Made by 2girls1comp with Grand Theft Auto V (Rockstar Games, 2013).

Lova Ranung, I Will Keep You Right Here 

I Will Keep You Right Here (2024), is a 7-minute digital animation which portrays a digital microcosm in which dust, dirt, and particles continuously divide, merge, and reorganize. It imagines an ecosystem animated by an underlying bodily engine, a subtle internal pulse that shapes movement, rhythm, and the formation of the landscape. Breath functions as the central connective force in the work. The artist's intention was for the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation to bind pixels to particles, and particles to bodies both on and beyond the screen.

Antonija Vuletic, I am your night

Between the last light of the sea and the darkness of night, she moves through states of ecstasy. Accompanied by fragments from Clarice Lispector’s Breath of Life, the body drifts between glamour and collapse, purity and excess, as if the soul were searching for itself through movement. In the suspended space of night, she becomes: a shattered star, a flame against the dark. I am your night is a video work that explores states of ecstasy, fragility, and transformation.

Vartan Markarian, Horizons of Disappearance

What is nature's potential for regeneration in conditions of constant entropic interaction with humans? Horizons of Disappearance (2026), reflects on forests as fragile refuges under threat from war and climate change, navigating the tension of the forest as a space of ecological richness and respite, and potential catastrophe due to large-scale anthropogenic factors such as climate change and war. It is a companion video to the project ‘Disturbed Ground’, a collaboration between Kyiv’s ∄ and CTM Festival that brings together Ukrainian and international artists to create new audiovisual performances that respond to the ecological consequences of war in Ukraine. 

Horizons of Disappearance was produced within the framework of Echoes of the Earth, a project by Mariana Berezovska, Mila Kostiana, and alen hast that was supported by ∄ and Goethe-Institut.
