Selected Projects: NAVET Student Festival 2025
What happens when art, technology, and science meet in the cosmos? At NAVET Festival 2025, international and Swedish students explore new universes of sound, light, and movement. Here, space becomes a laboratory for the ideas of the future.
For the second year in a row, NAVET, in collaboration with the Swedish Techniska Museum of Science and Technology, is hosting a festival at the intersection of art, technology, and design. The theme for 2025 is SPACE. NAVET is a collaboration between KTH and leading art and design colleges in Stockholm. Every year, an open call is announced, inviting bachelor's and master's students to submit project ideas that combine technology, art, and design. Both individual participants and teams are given the opportunity to develop new concepts. Some of the selected works will now be presented at the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology during the NAVET Festival on October 10.
When?: 10.10.2025
Where?: Tekniska Museet, Museivägen 7, 115 27 Stockholm, Schweden
Program
A Space to W(o/a)nder
Gabi Kiryluk, Hannah Johnson, Erasmus Talbot, Kei Duke-Bergman
Experience the interplay between light and movement through interactive water globes that you can dance with, or sit back and let yourself be enveloped by a cosmic soundscape.
Caelus
Måns Helldin, Anton Skarborn, Emilia Sundberg
Embark on an audiovisual space journey to the planet Caelus. Here, you will experience hypnotic images and a crew that guides you through hypersleep and cosmic sound waves. Travel time? Only 96 years. A work that is equal parts science fiction, humor, and meditation.
Articulation No. 2 – Wishing on a star
Anne-Li Hyun-Zoo Karlsson, Anton Skarborn
Experience a large-scale interactive sound and light installation where we explore how we can stage the feeling of seeing a shooting star. An event that can evoke emotions in many people. Here, space's promise of wishes is juxtaposed with contemporary issues of exploitation and colonization: from trips to Mars to moon tourism.
The Unexplored Space – A meditative journey
Erasmus Talbot, Felix Thurfjell, Hana Katri
Perhaps the most unexplored frontier is not in space, but within ourselves. The Unexplored Space is a 10-minute multimedia performance combining live music, visual projections, and guided breathing.
Microcosm
Alva Harju Jansson, Elias Shapiro
In Microcosm, circus and cosmos meet in a sensual performance. Through movement and sound, an experience of the eternal cycle of the universe and our own impact on it is created. The work becomes a journey between body and cosmos, between micro-worlds and galaxies, where humanity's place in the universe takes center stage.
Echo of Action – Resources from Space, Reflection on Earth
Ke Yang, Tong Yu
How do we use resources here on Earth and beyond? Echo of Action is an interactive installation where the audience explores three different planets using gesture recognition. Your choices trigger different visual and audio scenarios. The result is a reflection on sustainability, exploitation, and our shared future.
