CURRENT & UPCOMING
Neurotopias are the seventh edition of Improper Walls’ initiative to participate in the Mental Health Awareness Month with an annual exhibition and accompanying public program that uses artistic means to encourage open discussion about often stigmatized topics, their deeper context and socio-political repercussions. After discussing treatment gap, stigma, sexuality, education and neurodiversity, community care, and housing instability, this year we invited artists via an open call to reflect on what a truly accessible society would look like, materially, socially, infrastructurally, asking: What kind of economic system could accommodate people with different abilities and take into account more-than-human needs? How can we offer each other care without pathologizing the issues or denying their existence? What would our surroundings—our homes and cities—look like if we create them from feminist, disabled, and neurodiverse perspectives?
The exhibition's point of departure is the first photo/visualisation of a black hole created in 2019. As a result, the image of the black hole became an extraordinary visual analogy of a boundless universe. The strange phenomena that occur in space force us to have a deeper understanding of basic conceptions of time, information, causality, necessity, contingency, and determinism. With the exhibition “Domestic Astronomy” artists open up about their cosmologies by analyzing and interpreting the alluring phenomenon of the visuality of space using analogue photography, photo collage, point cloud aesthetics, photogrammetry and other 3D techniques.

This hands-on workshop explores the ethical, emotional, and sensory dimensions of AI-driven human-machine interaction by approaching the body as a “black box” both as an artistic strategy and as a critical lens through which to examine how interactive technologies—and AI in particular—engage with bodies.
