“Via Berlin is a living laboratory where creators, artists, scientists, and civic organizations dare to imagine differently together. In the friction and fusion of their worlds, new forms arise around the most urgent questions of our time.

What unfolds is not just art, but immersion — an embodied encounter that draws us in, engages mind and heart, and invites us to feel our way into complexity. Radical artistic interventions that move, awaken, and gently alter the way we see — and the way we belong within the world.”

MISSION
We realize transdisciplinary artistic research in the Netherlands and across Europe, in collaboration with scientists and societal partners addressing urgent societal challenges.

Through immersive artistic interventions, we bring forth embodied and often unspoken knowledge within complex systems. What is first experienced is subsequently given form.

We develop new language, images, and sensory expressions that render visible and tangible what previously remained unseen, connecting research, experience, and public dialogue.

VISION
Art constitutes a distinct mode of knowledge production within transdisciplinary research cultures.

In complex societal systems, much of what fundamentally shapes our shared reality remains unarticulated because it has not yet found language or form. Artistic research enables embodied and relational knowledge to surface and take shape across disciplinary boundaries.

When experience, imagination, and critical inquiry converge, new knowledge emerges — knowledge that is felt before it is articulated and publicly shared before it is formalized.

Across the Netherlands and Europe, this approach contributes to a research culture in which insights do not remain confined to analysis and reports, but circulate in forms that can be publicly experienced, discussed, and further developed.
