Swamp eye, the elicit eye from the Oeverlanden
Powerful hybrid being with compound eyes, it can see not only ahead but also to the sides.
Like a giraffe, it can observe the surrounding from above.
This otherworldly creature takes care of me to overcome my fear of getting blind.
It allows me to see and absorb the world around me.
The reed are neurotransmitters to transports and processes these impressions, illuminating my thoughts with feather-light insights.

Serie van drie Workshops voor CuCO (Center for unusual collaborations) UU, UMC, TUE, WUR (2022-2023)
ism. Louise Wipfler, Stefan Jansen(muziek), Feadan McCall (beweging) voor mid-career wetenschappers, die aan interdisciplinaire projecten werken.
The workshop aims to connect to the self, the other and the world around us by means of art. By stepping out of your role as scientist, new options for collaborations are explored and alternative sources are opened for original ideas, originating from ‘foolish’ questions, alternative forms of research (art-based learning), speculative approaches, imagination and emotions. Handles will be provided to embrace the polyphony of visions and voices. The Centre for Unusual Collaboration (CUCo) invites you to join this workshop. CUCo aims to foster unusual collaborations based on its vision that next big innovations for societal impact are to be found through unusual collaborations in research. Are you interested? Then join us! This is your chance to explore the artists’ mindset.
