A transdisciplinary space where mechanical engineering meets critical theory. We develop deep-mapping frameworks to navigate the intersections of industrial memory and contemporary artistic praxis.
COLLABORATION_01
Romania — Norway Scientific Axis
A sustained research partnership linking Romanian artists and scientists with Norwegian institutions — focused on environmental sensing, data-driven art, and the material poetics of ecological change.
The collaboration brings together expertise in hydrology, sediment analysis, and climate data with the artistic methods of material experimentation and installation — producing works that make invisible environmental processes tangible.
Key outputs include the Submerged Narratives project (underwater data capture from the Danube) and the Porous Matter series (sediment-based sculptural panels), both of which emerged directly from field research and laboratory analysis.

Industrial Porosity
A comparative study between Timișoara’s post-industrial landscape and Stavanger’s offshore architectural footprint. Examining how technical structures breathe through artistic intervention.

Sorin Oncu Archive
A critical recovery project dedicated to the late artist Sorin Oncu. Our lab employs digital forensics and technical cataloging to preserve and reactivate Oncu’s discourse on body, power, and identity.

EXHIBITION
Hidden Agenda
CURATED BY COSMIN HAIAȘ
A curatorial project interrogating the concealed mechanisms of power, influence, and institutional control in contemporary art and society.
The exhibition assembled works from multiple artists working across media — installation, video, object, sound — united by a shared concern with what remains unseen, unspoken, or deliberately obscured in systems of authority.
As curator, Cosmin brought an engineer’s systems-thinking to the gallery — treating the exhibition as a network of interconnected signals, each work a node transmitting its own frequency of dissent.

“What remains unsaid in the interface? The invisible protocols that dictate the movement of bodies and ideas.”
