Thank you for coming out to Tekniska Museet last 10th of October to our Student Festival. There were six student projects showcased throughout the evening, all centered around the theme SPACE, drawing a crowd of around 250 visitors!
The theme and application information for the next edition of the Student Festival will be revealed during NAVET week 2025 (Week 50). NAVET week is a special series of events dedicated to showing the public the work we've accomplished throughout the year at KTH and with our partner institutions. The full NAVET program will be on our website.
Here we've recapped the evening! See photos and a video of every project sharing insights on their work and their experience meeting the audience at Tekniska Museet.
A Space to W(o/a)nder

Nowadays, if you are lucky, looking up in the sky, you can see shiny luminal dots shimmering at you from afar... It takes years or thousands of years for their light to reach our planet, but it has served as a symbol of hope and magic for millennia.
"A Space to W(o/a)nder" reimagines the stars as energetically entangled with us, allowing moments of play, connection, and awe.
Come explore the connection of light and movement by dancing with these interactive water orbs or simply watch and enjoy a cosmic soundscape. Let time disintegrate and practice finding joy and rest in observing the uncapturable.
Enjoy this audiovisual journey to the planet of Caelus. Hypersleep sedation is complementary. Enjoy our sound bath, and please listen to the instructions given by the crew. Estimated journey time: 96 years.

Articulation No. 2 – Wishing on a star
Photo: Anna Gerdén
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
Photo: Anna Gerdén
This 10-minute multimedia performance combines live music, visuals, and breathwork. It asks the question: what if the most overlooked frontier of exploration is inside the mind?
Breath becomes the entry point into a meditative journey, making the mind highly present and receptive to the immersive audiovisual narrative that unfolds.
The breathwork is guided live by professional facilitator Sam Svärd.

Microcosm

In Microcosm, circus and cosmos meet in a sensorial performance. Through movement and sound, an experience of the eternal cycles and ruptures 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
Photo: Helena Linder
This installation offers a hands-on interactive experience. It uses gesture detection to realize engaging visual and auditory effects. Three planets can be explored. Obtaining resources from them, or making rational use of the Earth’s own, will trigger different outcomes. We hope to inspire reflection on the Earth’s environment and external resources. The interaction is designed to be intuitive, allowing participation across ages and backgrounds.
