Thank you, everyone, for coming to the opening.
It was exciting and warm!

AIR InSILo has launched the Gemeinsteine, a participatory mosaic public artwork led by artist Anna Khodorkovskaya. The piece is being presented as part of the WEIN/4 Festival 2026 and developed in close collaboration with residents of Hollabrunn and the surrounding area. At the heart of the project is a commitment to social engagement: over ten free workshops, 40 participants came together to contribute to a lasting floor mosaic installation. Gemeinsteine honours the often-invisible currents of horizontal cultural collaboration and solidarity that fertilise the art world – a realm too frequently and erroneously defined by its more visible, vertical power structures.

We welcome Cemre Kara – a multidisciplinary artist and researcher based in the Netherlands, working at the intersection of sensory experience, spatial perception, and social interaction. She graduated from the ArtScience Interfaculty at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, and was a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Her practice spans performance, installation, and participatory formats, creating immersive environments through food, smell, and embodied experience. Her recent work focuses on olfactory research and sensory mapping, exploring smell as a medium for memory, atmosphere, and alternative ways of understanding and archiving place.

In InSILo, Cemre Kara will be working on her Archive of Smells – an expanded artistic research project exploring how landscapes can be experienced, remembered, and archived through smell. Moving beyond visual mapping, it engages olfaction as a primary tool for spatial understanding, revealing an invisible layer of place shaped by memory, atmosphere, and environmental processes.

Through walking-based fieldwork, the artist navigates agricultural, urban, and natural environments, attentive to subtle atmospheric shifts. Scent-bearing materials are identified and collected, forming a growing archive where each sample becomes a sensory fragment of place. Rather than scientific classification, the archive embraces subjectivity, highlighting memory and association. The project asks how landscapes might be understood differently if we prioritise what cannot be seen, proposing smell as an alternative form of spatial knowledge.

This summer, we are happy to work with Huichuan Wang – a London-based multidisciplinary artist, designer and creative technologist whose practice navigates the entanglement of geological time and computational time.
During her residency at AIR InSILo, she will walk, collect, and grind the local geology of Hollabrunn—loess, river gravels, and Paratethys-era sediments—into mineral pigments. These materials will feed the next iteration of her ongoing work , Asymptote, a real-time feedback loop between hand-ground pigment painting and a custom-trained AI model.
“What excites me most: the loess of Hollabrunn shares its ice-age origin with the Chinese Loess Plateau, where my father worked as a geologist. The ground here carries a quiet resonance across continents. This project begins not from my existing visual language but from what this specific land offers — textures, colours, atmospheres. Neither I nor the machine has encountered this place before.”
Through a methodology Huichuan Wang calls Techno-Craft, she explores how the granularity of the physical world can be preserved within the smoothness of the digital realm. Her recent work Asymptote establishes a real-time feedback loop between AI generative models and traditional mineral pigments (iwaenogu), synthesising the deep time of geological materials with the accelerated time of neural networks.
Huichuan Wang has exhibited at the V&A Museum, the CAFA Museum, Wells Cathedral, and in independent spaces across London, Paris, Beijing and Shanghai. She teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London.

At the heart of the project is a commitment to social engagement: over ten free workshops, 40 participants came together to contribute to a lasting floor mosaic installation.

Anna Khodorkovskaya is an internationally active artist based in Austria. She has received several prestigious awards, including the Strabag Art Award International (2014), the Diploma Recognition Prize of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2018), and the Carinthian State Prize at the 37th Austrian Graphic Art Competition (2021). Her practice focuses on participatory methods and the role of art in fostering relationships within communities.

Girl Out of Time∞ is a songwriter, actor, fine arts photographer and filmmaker, Chilo Eribenne, whose work bridges London’s club underground with contemporary art and diasporic cultural projects. After a ten-year hiatus from the decks, she returns in 2026 as Girl Out of Time∞, moving between Vienna and Andalucía and drawing on her parallel practice in photography, film and Afro-diasporic cultural work. Her sets move fluidly through electro funk, glitch hop, soul and West African vibes, treating the dancefloor as a time-travelling archive where Black and Afro-futuristic sonic histories are re-sequenced for the present.
