Notes: The work arising within the Open Space Laboratory has a long-lasting character, with various groups of people and more-than-humans being able to enter it. It has the character of an open workshop – an event – testing (non)knowledge. The OSL framework represents an open process of embodied learning.

*All the works are produced in a small group together with our children (Váva 8. years & Elza 3. years) within the SWA curriculum.

Children do not live separately from the world, as we often mistakenly think. On the contrary, children live directly inside the world with a sense of relatedness and collectivity. They do not experience the world individually, it grows directly inside the human and more-than-human world that influences. Children experience very complex relations far beyond the limited human perspective of view. By their actions they challenge the traditional frameworks of human view and educational process. Education is above all a collaborative process and cooperation with the world. We respond to the environment in which we live and explore what future and what lives we can create together.

Vava, our older son, together with his brother is developing another sculptural work that is dedicated to sensory signaling to detect the returning current.

The sun is dipping towards the west and the winter wind is pushing against my hair.
At the border of land and ocean, I am looking for a way through which the currents are returning.

We spent many hours in that place.

Performative lecture. On the function of a sensory signaller.

Cold water flow
Continuously follows the flowing water and moves with it and the tool.

In the blue sky
who will measure the depth of the real surface?

That day the wind blew away the white clouds.

Can anyone get there if it’s that far away?
And so few of us know this magical landscape.

Fresh wind and this slow-moving body of water.
All the water thoughts are concentrated in one sensory object.
And then they disappear.
Perfect.
It moves with the wind, and the walls of the plastic object vibrate slightly.
