The Delicacy of Invasive Machines 

📅 Tuesday, 20. October 2026, 17:30 (admission from 17:00)
📍@motionexperiencelab, room 404, KISD

In this KISDtalk, Nelly-Eve Rajotte explores how technologies such as surgical robotics, LiDAR scanning, biometric sensors and artificial intelligence can be repurposed to create imagery from the perspective of the living world. By transforming devices originally designed for measurement and control, she explores new forms of presence, otherness and sensory experience.

Presenting her recent works The Trees Communicate with Each Other at 220 Hertz and Matter (2024), In the Depths of Flesh, the Delicacy of Invasive Machines (2025), she examines how non-human perspectives and machine-generated visions of landscapes can create immersive and empathetic experiences.

@nellyeverajotte 
is an artist and professor at UQAM's School of Design in Montreal, where she researches moving image and sound design. Her immersive installations and performances explore non-human ways of seeing, using technologies including LiDAR, biosensors, AI and robotics.

Her work has been presented at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Contemporary Calgary, MUTEK, transmediale Berlin, ISEA and KIKK Festival, among others, and is held in several public collections.

MXL on Air: KISDtalk by Martin Simpson and Breg Horemans
TAAT,BE (@taat_projects)
23.06.2026 – 17:00
Online and @motionexperiencelab / KISD / Ubierring 40 / R404

Since 2014, TAAT’s work seeks to design spaces for encounter: between urban and natural contexts, between participants and art professionals, and between human and more-than-human life. In the last years, their design processes evolved from human-centred and result-driven to multispecies sensitive and process-based. In this presentation we follow their design gestures: from the shallow reed covered shores of an uninhabited fluvial island (in Lithuania), to the meanders of the Maas and Aa river (in The Netherlands and Belgium). Through Horemans’ PhD-research an eco-dramaturgical approach to spatial design unfolds, while Simpson’s river organs and wind flutes make attempts to tune in the body of the designer to the frequencies of wind and water. The presentation will be partly set in the Live Agora, a hybrid working tool that supports the emergence of new multispecies collaborations. TAAT’s practice, as part of a movement of practices, disorients the body of the maker into alternative ways to make worlds: by foregrounding and valorising the simple yet powerful gesture of tuning in with each other.

The talk is accessible through the following link:

KISD @ LUCID DREAMS Festival 2026 – Motion Experience Lab meets the Master Class Experimental Media at FH St. Pölten
@lucid_dreams_ustp 

The Motion Experience Lab from @kisdinternational is coming to St. Pölten.
On May 22 and 23, the Köln International School of Design (@th_koeln) will be part of the LUCID DREAMS Festival with an extended student project program from the Image & Motion field, led by Prof. Nina Juric.
She brings 15 Integrated Design students, along with MXL alumni Nima Hülshorst and Julian Spath, who are teaching as guest lecturers this semester. Their bachelor projects from the Köln International School of Design are being further developed specifically for the Lucid Dreams Festival.

Under the title happy palace, the LUCID DREAMS Festival at Bühne im Hof constructs a space of the ephemeral. Following previous chapters on AI, [digital] fungi, and STONEAGE, a palace of perception emerges—a transitional zone between the precariousness of the real and the dreamlike qualities of the virtual. A shimmering space of data, myths, and glitches that raises the question: who is allowed to enter—and what remains outside its luminous gates?

A central element of the contribution to happy palace is a student-led MXL production team that develops a spatial and atmospheric media framework for the exhibition space at Bühne im Hof. It shapes the visual and acoustic presence, as well as the overall media staging and public representation of KISD within the festival context. The festival presents over 50 international positions.
As part of the program, two experimental MXL teaching formats are presented. 
Stay tuned.

Student Production Team:
Nele Oberbiermann, Lucie Wernecke, Lisa Marie Kneuper, Felix Klei, Paul Kimmerl

Student Project Teams:
Yannick Lethgau, Benedikt Bruchhausen, Anna Aptsiauri, Corinna Schwager, Marie Goldbach, Sofia Fellinger, Marie Kochs, Joscha Dammert, Vincent Johnson, Biyu Zhang, Davide Vignando, Greta Cesaris, Melis Kozak, Elena Savoldi, Leandro Ramirez

In this 10 days shortterm project from last year, vvvv became a political instrument. We dissect, sample and recontextualise texts from protest songs – live and audio-visually. 
We asked: What happens when code meets resistance? What happens when Type meets Motion?

For this MXL project, we were inviting media artist, instrument inventor & creative coder Christoph Kirmaier from Vienna, with whom Prof. NJU was developing a custom MXL lib in vvvv. He introduced @kisdesign and @codeandcontext students to the basics of vvvv with the aim of working together on a performative and collaborative ‘resistant outline of simultaneities’ and progress in this practice based design research.

– VVVV is a visual programming environment for real-time graphics, interaction and generative design. This interface is particularly strong in performative applications as it enables fluid, non-linear processes. We relied on a special feature called VL.Kairos in vvvv and use the MXL in its networked infrastructure to design. A final public presentation took place in R240 at the end of the class. 

When it comes to timelines and tools for creating data narratives, vvvv has never had many options. Kairos is not only a tool that finally fulfils this need.It also offers a wide range of options for managing live data and controlling your applications. Based on an understanding of the essence of the Kairos principles, we familiarised ourselves with the library’s node set and put together some application scenarios.

Re-assemble. Resist. Recode.

@codeandcontext student Henning Brode @henningbrode accomplished his final thesis at his dedicated sound space: Club FI. Yesterday he presented and defended his thesis «Light in Sound–Space: Entwicklung einer Open-Source Lichtsteuerung zur (Semi-)Automatisierung der Lichtgestaltung in Klangräumen». Along house music of a playing DJ, he demonstrated the sound-reactive light control system developed in @touchdesigner with OSC interface on an iPad, effecting a lightning equipped club architecture on a variety of embedded fixtures in realtime. - Additionally to the technical part, he wrapped his research up in a 1hour-documentary, for which he investigated on light systems in Cologne’s club culture and talked to light technicians and artists to understand this realm and user needs from different perspectives. He shares the framework on github and - trained as former MXL student assistent- created a proper stack of high professional tutorials coming along with it.

Congratulations to this creative technologist, light technician and software architect! 🎉🎉@codeandcontext student Henning Brode @henningbrode accomplished today his final thesis exam, taking place at a dedicated sound space - Club FI. He presented and defended his thesis «Light in Sound–Space: Entwicklung einer Open-Source Lichtsteuerung zur (Semi-)Automatisierung der Lichtgestaltung in Klangräumen» successfully. Along house music of a playing DJ, he demonstrated the sound-reactive light control system developed in @touchdesigner with OSC interface on an iPad, effecting a lightning equipped club architecture on a variety of embedded fixtures in realtime. - Additionally to the technical part, he wrapped his research up in a 1hour-documentary, for which he investigated on light systems in Cologne’s club culture and talked to light technicians and artists to understand this realm and user needs from different perspectives. He shares the “open source” framework on gitHub and -as trained former MXL student assistent- created a proper stack of high professional tutorials coming along with it. Huge effort, very thoughtfully explained, translated and well executed as designed artifacts. 
🪄You can find the framework ++ here: finotopia.henningbrode.de 🔮Proudly, I can say this is a highly dedicated project with lots of ambition and pleasure to supervise -together with Prof. Frank Schimmel. So far my favorite club based research presentations. We will definitely set the system up and use it in the @motionexperiencelab .
