Shock Forest Group

Shock Forest Group (2019) is an international research team consisting of architects, cartographers, linguists, coders, urban planners, sound makers, biologists, designers and engineers. It is an experiment in open research, where the research categories surface as the research develops. It is also an experiment in alternative education, a classroom without a teacher, where learning emerges as a product of polyphony.

These livelihoods make worlds too – and they show us how to look around rather than ahead

Incomprehensible Sun (2019) is a sound and light installation by Nicolás Jaar for the former 200-meter-long underground shooting range in Het HEM. Visitors enter the installation in the middle of the tunnel, from which point the speed and direction of their walk determine the course, the rhythm and the duration of the piece.
