The transmedia artist duo Hannah and Lea Neckel seduce us into a world where online and offline realities merge and the future is constructed anew.

Based on the longing for liberation and community, they develop emotional exxxperiences based on the utopian potential of the Internet.

In her work beyond the waterfall, conventional notions of binarity are disrupted and the concept of fluidity is brought to the fore. In the spatial installation, the waterfall becomes a symbol for connecting and dissolving constructed bipolarity. In order to transcend physical boundaries and generate a new notion of the future in the collective consciousness, the potential of technology is used.

The Internet as a refuge for marginalized groups, especially the queer community, is rematerialized in real space and deconstructs boundaries between human-machine, gender binaries, self-other, virtual-real and strives for liberation detached from patriarchal restrictions.

The rooms of the OK become an extended virtual reality, immersed in the aesthetics of digital subculture. Like a bubbling spring, it spills into the space, overflowing, overlapping and merging with the surroundings, like the layers of a Photoshop file.
