Thank you for exploring, visiting, and wandering with us through Emerging Exits 💛

Over the past 1,5 months, we opened the monumental Diogenes Bunker to the public, transforming it into an immersive exhibition in which interdisciplinary artists explored the changing relationship between humans, technology and ecology. We are more than grateful for all the happy visitors who came by and explored a space for imagination and alternative perspectives.

We want to thank all the artists, visitors, speakers, partners and our dear volunteers for helping realise this special project and for opening the mysterious doors of the Diogenes Bunker one final time for Emerging Exits.

Today is the final day to visit the exhibition Emerging Exits ‼️

Over the past five weeks, we have opened the monumental Diogenes Bunker to the public for an immersive exhibition exploring the shifting relationship between humans, technology, and ecology.

Today, the bunker will open its doors for the final time before it closes to the public for good. Inside, the bunker cuts you off from sunlight, internet, and mobile reception — transporting you into another world.
Surrounded by image, sound, and light, you become fully immersed in the artworks, enhanced by the unique scenography of

The works engage with themes of war and conflict, collective memory, ecological depletion, myth, and transformation.

Where the bunker once revolved around detection, analysis, and control, Emerging Exits reconfigures that logic to ask new questions about the present and the future. The exhibition unfolds across three chapters: Sensing Threats makes contemporary dangers perceptible; Command Center examines the systems that shape our realities; and Speculative Scenarios envisions futures beyond the logic of control.

We hope to see you on our last day! 💛

➔ Emerging Exits is open until today, Sunday, 2 November. Tickets are going fast — book yours now via our website (link in bio)!

Set in one of the largest bunkers in the Netherlands, this immersive exhibition explores the shifting relationship between humans, technology, and ecology.

Exit #5: Screening UNEARTH + Q&A
With artists .schwarzlose and Brian D McKenna (English)

Sunday 2nd November 14.00 - 14.45 | Location: Diogenes Bunker

UNEARTH - In Between States of Matter is a speculative documentary shortfilm which explores connections between the geosphere, biosphere, and technosphere.

The film examines geological processes related to resource extraction, focusing on radical material transformations. New minerals emerge through human activity, and cause in turn mutational and generative processes in biological life: a cycle which inspires thoughts on mineral and human coevolution and contributes to a debate that redefines the separation between life and non-life.

➔ Admission to the screening is free. A separate ticket is required to visit the exhibition.

How do we respond when we find ourselves completely cut off from the outside world? We spoke with artist , whose in-depth research into bunkers serves as the foundation of his practice.

Through his work, van Leeuwen investigates the relationship between architecture, space, and human experience.

Van Leeuwen’s intervention Afgesloten Licht engages with the transformed architecture of the Diogenes Bunker. The bunker’s central hall, once thirteen meters high and home to a vast operations map, was destroyed by the German Luftwaffe before their retreat.

In 1970, new floors were added to the bunker to convert the space into an archive facility. With Afgesloten Licht (English: Separated Light), Van Leeuwen creates a moment of reflection in which the bunker’s underlying tension and sense of menace become tangible.

➔ You can explore Kees van Leeuwen’s work and others until November 2. There are only a limited number of tickets available, so book yours now via our website – link in bio!

Exit #5: Panel ‘Machine Culture: AI, algorithms, and cultural production’ icw (English)

Saturday 1st November 13:30 - 15:30 | Location: Diogenes Bunker | Speakers and , moderated by

Since the rapid development of telecommunications—partly due to the use of the Diogenes bunker—technology has advanced to such an extent that scientists now even refer to a ‘machine culture’: a culture in which machines help shape or even generate culture. What are the consequences of this?

In what ways do we want to coexist with technology? And what would society look like then? In this collaboration with POST, we will discuss machine culture and the possible dangers of continuing in the same way.

➔ Admission to the panel is free. A separate ticket is required to visit the exhibition.

Within his work, Maksud Ali Mondal (.mondal10) explores microbial contamination as a form of conversation.

In his project Synthesis, Mondal reflects on how we understand ourselves in relation to one another - including other species, organisms, and civilizations - and our place within a transforming environment.

His practice is grounded in the observation of growth, transformation, and decomposition in organic matter through bacteria, fungi, plants, microbial life, fermentation, oxidation, and decay, as well as interactions with organic and man-made found objects and discarded materials.

Experience Synthesis by Maksud Ali Mondal during Emerging Exits, reopening its doors today! Set in the monumental Diogenes Bunker, the exhibition explores the changing relationship between humans, technology, and ecology.

➔ Emerging Exits will be on view until November 2, 2025. There are only a limited number of tickets available, so book yours now via our website. Link in bio!

.echo.collective is a location-independent radio collective focused on reverberating stories overshadowed by long-unexamined and -unrevised world views. From an intersectional feminist standpoint, they echo stories through their own voices and experiences to work the ground of a landscape for multiple voices to thrive and create vibrations that subvert the main narratives.

At the Diogenes Bunker, they will broadcast a radio show throughout the afternoon, sharing stories and conversations with artists, cultural workers, and visitors.

Sunday, 26 October, 12.00 – 15.30h | Diogenes Bunker
Language: English

What does it mean to be protected? And how do we, as humans, connect with the world around us? We spoke with Silvia Gatti () about her artwork Chiaro di Luna – Moonlight (2025), a 4K multichannel sound installation that explores the fragile attempt to connect.

Gatti’s installation, Chiaro di Luna, listens restlessly for signals, translating and mistranslating them, leaving only a time capsule of memory and sound. Moving between inner and outer worlds, a sense of human presence searches for meaning within the traces of life: the installation beeps with mechanical echoes, merging with birdsong, voices, and whispers.

Silvia Gatti creates dreamlike environments through computer-generated visuals, text, and immersive soundscapes. Through fragmented narratives and performative poetry, Gatti questions physicality, identity, and the space between the digital and the physical. She explores language and storytelling as a form of “concrete philosophy” — a way of engaging with body awareness, consciousness, and generative systems.

View Chiaro di Luna – Moonlight live in the exhibition Emerging Exits, reopening its doors this Friday! Set in the monumental Diogenes Bunker, the exhibition explores the changing relationship between humans, technology, and ecology.

➔ The exhibition will be on view until November 2. There are only a limited number of tickets available, so book yours now via our website – link in bio!
