even now butterflies play

​As part of Berlin Science Week, we host an exhibition that reabsorbs technology, art, and biology into a singular primordial organism, a ‘progenote’. Our pairings form an ongoing meta-experiment in negotiating new formats of knowledge production.

ARCH. x OMAN SOUNDS x PROGENOTE INSTITUTE
Visceral Superhelix - an immersive sound installation exploring the self-similar structure of collagen, from baroque gut strings down to the nanoscale triple helix.

JULIUS NIEMEYER x MIMOTYPE TECHNOLOGIES
Thymia - an ephemeral cloud, in mScarlet3, a quiet signal of matter in flux.

JAKOB KUKULA x SPARXELL
IRIDESZENZ - an iridescent study in motion, where light sculpts the insect form into shifting hues.

ANDREA CARRERA
Micromentum - a faint bloom of form, grown by unseen rhythms and held just at the edge of becoming.

​We invite scientific minds, roaming artistic souls, and everyone to rewrite each other’s playbooks, carving out a niche as boundless and totipotent as the progenote, the elusive progenitor of all biological life.
