A journey beyond space with NAVET 2025

For the second year in a row, NAVET, in collaboration with The National Museum of Science and Technology, is hosting a festival at the intersection of art, technology, and design. The theme for 2025 is SPACE. NAVET is a collaboration between KTH and SKH together with other leading art and design colleges in Stockholm. Every year, an open call is announced, inviting bachelor's and master's students to submit project ideas that combine technology, art, and design. Both individual participants and teams are given the opportunity to develop new concepts. Some of the selected works will now be presented at the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology during the NAVET Festival on October 10.

Among this year’s selected works, several are created by SKH alumni and students:

Caelus

By Måns Helldin (SKH), Anton Skarborn (SKH), Emilia Sundberg (SKH), Martin Seipel (SKH)

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

By Anne-Li Hyun-Zoo Karlsson (SKH), Anton Skarborn

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

By Erasmus Talbot (SKH), Felix Thurfjell, Hana Katri

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

By Alva Harju Jansson (SKH), Elias Shapiro (SKH)

In Microcosm, circus and cosmos meet in a sensual performance. Through movement and sound, an experience of the eternal cycle 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.
