++CANCELLED++ KairosCapsule: Recalibrate your sense of time

Enter the KairosCapsule: An immersive experience and experimental research project (DAY 1) 

In the face of today’s social and environmental crises, the complexity and urgency of the challenges we face require us to pause, reflect, and focus on what truly matters. Yet, in our fast-paced, overloaded lives, we often struggle to find time — until it’s too late.

We invite you to participate in an immersive time laboratory that explores the relationship between physical and emotional influences on our perception of time. This project investigates how our senses shape our understanding of reality as we navigate the world.

10 meters below the surface of Berlin, closer to the Earth’s center of gravity, time slows down. 

As David Farrier beautifully puts it: “Time lives in the body, not as the ticking of a clock, but as the pulse of the blood.”

In this very special location below surface and beyond time we invite you to listen to your body and feel the inner clock ticking. Together we will consciously shift from Chronos (chronological time) to Kairos (a collective state of being in the present moment). Making time for the things that really matter.

Join us in the KairosCapsule and become part of a unique, experimental research process, reconnecting cognition with lived experience. Our immersive interventions take you on both individual and collective journeys through light, sound, time, and space. Each experience is designed to explore how time perception, regeneration, and neurobiological patterns intersect.

In parallel to the public lab experiments, we are taking 12 curated test persons on a more intensive study of time perception away from the daily dictates of clocks and commitments. They will spend the night in the laboratory in absolute silence and darkness in order to synchronise their perception of time with their individual human sense of time.

Registration for a specific time slot is mandatory if you wish to actively participate in the laboratory experiments.

The KairosCapsule is open for the public during the following days and times:

• Day 1, Thursday, November 7th: 17:00 – 22:00
• Day 2, Friday, November 8th: 15:00 – 18:00

The KairosCapsule is part of the Regenerative TimeLab Quest: Non-Linear Time & Space. In parallel to the public lab experiments, we will take twelve curated test persons on a more intensive study of time perception away from the daily dictates of clocks and obligations. They will spend the night from 7th-8th November in the laboratory in absolute silence and darkness in order to synchronise their perception of time with their individual human sense of time.

On Friday, November 8th from 18:00 – 20:00, we will come together for a shared reflection and exchange, gaining deeper insights into time with experts from diverse fields. Afterwards we celebrate good times and serve drinks & music.
