​Annie Saunders 

​Stanley Kaplan Penthouse (10th Floor) 

​Annie will host casual, open conversations on the themes of her research during the Collider Fellowship for the duration of this Open Studio.

Resources, insights, a really good basic salad dressing recipe and other tools both practical and poetic will be on hand. Come on over.

The title, a prose from Thai radical thinker, Jitr Poumisak, refers to the state before going through this Thai political phenomenon called "ตาสว่าง", "eyes wide open"–the process through which a person becomes disillusioned with propaganda and false histories.

​Celine Daemen  

​The Classroom (7th Floor)   

​Celine will host a participatory open rehearsal of a multi audience VR-experiment. During the Collider Fellowship Celine and her collaborator Aron Fels have been researching their desire to create a collective multi-audience VR experience. To investigate different audience structures for this future piece, they will experiment with 3 leading-edge devices for a reimagined multi audience version of their award-winning work, Songs for a Passerby. These experiments will be the basis for their testcase and be in conversation with the audience about their collective journeys.    

​VR experiences run every 20 minutes followed by 5 minutes of artist conversation. Sign up will be available in-person the day of, walk-ins are welcome
