NUCLEO creates space for the artistic development of visual artists.
CHRONICA

BLANCO Lammerstraat
Expo
CHRONICA is a collaborative project created by Barbara Mydlak and Yann Deval and produced by Dark Euphoria. This is an interactive, collective ritual, which explores themes related to illness, the healing process, and resilience.
It is a transdisciplinary work that uniquely combines old crafts – traditional paper-making techniques – with new technologies, including Augmented Reality.
The project has been selected for the Venice Production Bridge at the Venice Biennale. Ahead of its presentation in Venice, the project will evolve during the residency at BLANCO Lammerstraat, where the artists will work on an updated prototype available for visitors to experience.
