The Ágape
My participatory olfactory art installation Group Sweat was exhibited at The Ágape in February 2024 at Alte Münze, Berlin.
Presented by EDGE Neuroscience & Art e.V. as part of CTM Festival and transmediale
The Ágape is an immersive collective experience that serves as the culmination and celebration of the event series called Sensoriality: Art & Neuroscience Through Our Senses featuring:

Art Exhibition with Immersive & Embodied Experiences

The Ágape: Finissage of Sensoriality 2023
In 2023, the vision of Sensoriality was to investigate how our senses play a vital role in shaping our understanding of reality as we navigate the world. In each session, experts in the field of art and neuroscience explored six classic perceptive systems: visual, olfactory, gustatory, somatosensory, auditory and proprioception. As the finissage to this immersive workshop series, during The Ágape multiple artists and musicians will exhibit artworks and performances related to neuroscience and the exploration of the senses. In addition, the event features a neuroscientific panel talk and embodied practices for attendees, creating an engaging and thought-provoking experience.

Why Ágape?
Ágape is a Greek word that denotes a selfless and unconditional love, characterized by benevolence and concern for the well-being of others, transcending personal gain or self-interest. The Ágape offers a unique and multidisciplinary approach that invites to reconnect with the beauty of our own sensory nature by blurring the line between art and neuroscience into a harmonious intersection of the human experience.
