101 Liters Alchemy
by Melanie Ganino, Chris-Armel Iradukunda, Stef Assandri, Gregor Petrikovič, Maria Stuut & Jere, annat maria MaratKovich, Emily Zuberec, Borderdisorder + Asli Hatipoglu & Tehani Amarasuriya cooking
The doors are open. The threshold is humming.
You are invited to cross into Reactor — a space where distortion, ritual, and digital/analog alchemy coexist in a fragile dance.
We toast collectively, chaotically to collaboration and transformation. To lichen mutants and AI extensions, to the poetry of borders, to the infinite loop of suffering turning into wellbeing.
A ritual begins somewhere between one and zero, between autumn and static. Cheers to the distorted voices of more-than-human intelligence rippling through the house, unsettling walls.
Reactor is where digital minds read poetry in physical air. Where silence interrupts noise for the benefit of new speech.
Cheers to everything that is still mutating.

(B)ORDER DI3ORDER is a sensory, sound, and performative project—a cathartic cleansing and a magic spell against the increasingly toxic relationship between EEA and non-EEA countries on the continent. We present a three-act performance, carried by algorithmic and allegorical poetry, rudimentary electromagnetic noise, heavy bass kicks, dungeon synth melodies, anti-visuals, ecstatic dance, and the uneasy voices of a Balkan women's choir.
