Ūmėdė – post-media and related matter research festival
Ūmėdė festival, now in its third edition, brought together artistic practices across art, technology, biology and post-media research. The festival participants and audience entered into a symbiotic relationship with media, art, research, the location itself, and each other.

Three-day Open Laboratory ‘From Wonder to Disposal’
In From Wonder to Disposal, Risk Hazekamp and Miki Ambrózy created a three-day situated open laboratory, where collaborative research practices could be witnessed at variable time frames and frame rates. The lab was a hybrid of biolab and photographic light- and darkroom, where they raised questions about ethics and worldviews, protocols and techniques, blind spots and chemical waste. Rooted in light-sensitive materials and plant-based processes, their research practice was shared in real time through conversations with scientists, pagan knowledge keepers and other artistic researchers, performing stories and experiments, building set-ups, drinking tea, sharing sources, and taking responsibility for the waste as well as the output produced.
