Niloufar Shirani works at the intersection of art, science, and materiality. She combines ancient Persian mythology with contemporary media such as video, sound, and digital data. Craft materials like porcelain become carriers of memory, knowledge, and biological impermanence.

The starting point of Niloufar Shirani’s residency was her project Sahoog/Rudiment, which deals with decay and stillness – a dark, weighty work. For subnetAIR, she aimed to create a counterpoint exploring movement, sunlight, collaboration, and networks.

During her residency in Salzburg, Bennetts also created a video project centered on the exoskeleton she uses due to her diseases. Originally designed for elite athletes and marketed through hyper-masculine performance narratives, the device becomes in her work a tool for everyday mobility. The project critically examines biohacking and our urge to optimize the body, blurring boundaries between care, technology, and enhancement.

Alexandra Reichart and Matthias Krauß understand their collaboration as something that exceeds their individual artistic practices. Together, they create a shared artistic language that neither would develop alone. Their immersive installations merge technical systems, craft, and performance, inviting audiences to rethink established perceptions of art, technology, and human interaction.

In Salzburg, Stefanie Schröder focuses on the precarious work of app-workers who are sent through the city to check supermarkets, billboards, or gas stations. Using low-tech mobile devices and augmented reality tools, she follows these routes and complements her recordings with interviews with other micro-workers.

Schröder values residencies for the chance to work at her own pace – openly and without immediate pressure to produce results. Being temporarily removed from everyday life creates space where emptiness and even boredom can spark new ideas and perspectives.
