A manifesto of future art forms: off-center, subversive, unfinished. We build yes-spaces, echo communities, and celebrate art as alive.

affective data into instructions for performance. Each mapped location becomes a minute of play, where colors, numbers, words, and images fuse into actions.

Mapping the City Through Affective Data: Nabuurs&VanDoorn transform urban experience into color-coded, perceptual maps that reveal hidden social, cultural, and emotional dynamics, connecting Dutch artistic traditions to contemporary city life.

We begin our mapping of Berlin not as cartographers of spacetime, but as detectives of lost gestures—seeking subtle residues of movement, memory, and spiritual form embedded in the city’s surfaces. This is not a project of documentation, but of attunement. We are tracing a lineage of embodied knowledge that stretches from Javanese court dance to contemporary performance, from carved stone to whispered steps. Berlin, to us, is not a constructed city, but a palimpsest of attitu

In search of new audiences, we’ve taken a bold step: bringing our art out of the white cube and into the wild. Where landscape painters once translated nature onto canvas, we now try the reverse—bringing our canvases back into nature.

With no dedicated exhibition space available, we decided to transform the limitations into an opportunity—creating a leporello in collaboration with XYZ Books (also known as concertina or accordion fold).

Nabuurs&VanDoorn return to Lisbon with a kinetic activation of Minor Modes of Multiple Muted Memories, where color-coded protocols unfold through movement across the city’s overlooked topographies. Interpreted by breakdancer Timo Paris, these gestures transform public space into a living atlas—part score, part spell, part site-specific choreography.

From Fugitive Margins to Methods of Resistance: Yellow posters in Lisbon echo our 2007 Basel street actions—DIY maps, performances, and refusals that shaped our ongoing politics of presence in art.

Currently nomadic, we explore how movement, memory, and public space entangle—through mapping and storytelling in Lisbon. A blackout reminded us of our digital dependence.

A quiet rupture becomes an invitation to grow new eyes.
