Anneke ter Schure enters CODE 2026.

Anneke ter Schure is a biologist, water quality researcher, and artist whose research-based practice is closely connected to critical making. Combining biological data, research methods, creative coding, and physical media, she explores themes of life, death, exploitation, and care.

Her work asks how we can explore, understand, communicate, and question our entanglement with the living and non-living worlds that surround us — and are part of us. She is especially drawn to uncovering what usually remains unseen and unheard.

The following slides show examples of Anneke’s past projects, from interactive data visualisation and multispecies instruments to research-based exhibitions and co-created sculptures.

How do we read territory when maps have long been tools of extraction, control, and erasure?

In Counter-Cartographies of Resistance: Innovation and Ancestral Memory, Voluspa Jarpa reclaims cartography as a technology of repair.

Textile, video, sound, and ritual come together in an immersive installation that invites us to see territory not as a resource to be extracted, but as a living body shaped by memory, conflict, and care.

If you haven’t visited Techno-Ancestrality yet, this is a good moment to step into the exhibition.

🗓 Open tomorrow and every Wednesday–Sunday

IMPAKT Channel | #103 The Time We Call Waiting ⁠

The Time We Call Waiting is the curatorial channel project of our recent intern, Sam Dille⁠

Channel #103 explores the concept of waiting, often seen as empty time, a time of inaction, and even of delay. This channel encourages you to embody the time we see as waiting, and allow it to become a site of reflection and transformation. ⁠

Waiting is typically dismissed in our day-to-day lives, but Sam invites you to sit with the wait, to not only theorise waiting but also to endure it and find comfort in it. ⁠

Featuring the work of Gerben Kruk, Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukácz, Arjen de Leeuw, Peter Tscherkassky and Wolfgang Lehmann & Thomas Gerwin⁠

TERUGBLIK | Hoe beïnvloedt de tijdelijkheid van ruimte je kunstpraktijk? 📦

In het kunst-onderzoek ‘Wat is dit?’ verkende FAAM welke rol verbeelding kan spelen in het in kaart brengen van stedelijk gebied. FAAM keek zorgvuldig naar stedelijk gebied en stelde zichzelf de vraag: wat is dit?

Ook in de afsluitende performance ‘Hello (place)’ van collectief OCTA @octa_or_call_this_art werden deze vragen onderzocht.

Hierin stond de hele cyclus van een expositie centraal, van opbouw en opening tot afbouw. Vanuit een stapel kratten ontstond een locatie-specifieke expositie die ook weer onder het oog van het publiek werd ingepakt.

Tijdelijkheid van ruimtes is voor veel makers een realiteit. Veel makers hebben geen vast atelier of vaste presentatieplek. Een kunstenaar moet zich daardoor vaak snel verhouden tot een nieuwe omgeving. Altijd klaar om in te pakken en door te gaan naar de volgende tijdelijke locatie.

De performance van OCTA gaf op een mooie manier vorm aan het kortstondige gebruik van locaties voor kunst.

Voor het kunst-onderzoek ‘Wat is dit?’, kon FAAM gebruik maken van de shared space van IMPAKT.

Het gebruik van de ruimte van @impakt.nl onderstreept het belang van solidariteit en kruisbestuiving tussen culturele organisaties om deze ruimtelijke nood op te lossen.

metropolis m | To look again to the grandparents⁠

Mirella Moschella, writer for metropolis m, paid a visit to our IMPAKT Festival 2026 and Exhibition: Techno-Ancestrality, which challenges our concepts of knowledge production and technology; looking backwards to those who came before, adapting in the present, or looking towards the future. ⁠

In her words, "By intertwining digital media with ancestral mastery, Techno-Ancestrality moves beyond the traditional exhibition space. It proves that the tools for facing contemporary struggles are already woven into the materials and practices of our ancestors. The past might not be behind our backs but right in front of our eyes, serving as the visible guide for the path ahead."⁠

Thank you to Mirella and the metropolis m team for their visit and article! Check out metropolis m's article via the link in bio. ⁠

Techno-Ancestrality Exhibition runs until June 14th, check it out before it's too late! ⁠

IMPAKT Channel #102 PORNOGRAPHIC PLAYGROUND⁠

This week, intern Ellen Egan presents her Channel programme Pornographic Playground.⁠

In Ellen’s words, Pornographic Playground is concerned ”with how pornography, particularly BDSM, interrogates structures of power, patriarchy and pleasure. Bringing dynamics hidden in daily life to the surface and interacting with them intimately." ⁠

Pornography can be understood as a space for imagination and escape, where familiar rules about identity and reality loosen. Gender, sexuality, and even personhood become fluid, shaped more by desire and action than fixed labels. Boundaries between male and female or human and nonhuman fade, allowing greater freedom of expression.⁠

Within this space, power dynamics such as dominance and submission are constantly shifting rather than fixed. Sexual encounters become consensual opportunities to explore the self. As sexual beings, we are adaptable, guided more by instinct, trust and connection than by rigid social roles or identities.⁠

The programme explores how pornography can question structures of power, patriarchy, and pleasure through a selection of films by M.M. Serra, Morty Diamond, Cleo Übelmann, Rose Rosen, Barbara Hammer, and Marina Abramović.⁠

de Volkskrant | Kongo Astronauts

Journalist Janna Reinsma of de Volkskrant recently shared her reflections on our exhibition piece, Postcolonial Dilemma Track # 05 (in the process of):

“There is no text, no plot, no clear sequence of events, yet the whole screening is pregnant with layers and meanings, like a ritual or a dream, in which different realities and times seem to slide into one another. All of this makes for an enchanting video, propelled by plucked strings, restless percussion, bleeps, and electronic sounds.”

Postcolonial Dilemma Track # 05 (in the process of) is set in the ruins of a former Unilever plantation in Lusanga, in which the film captures stages of a speculative arrival. This film explores the situated relations of technology, rituals, and ecology, rather than bestowing them their own binarised categories.

Postcolonial Dilemma Track # 05 (in the process of) is part of our Techno-Ancestrality Exhibition, which is open until June 14th!

Balqaş Jyry / The Song of Lake Balkhash a work by Artcom Platform | IMPAKT Exhibition: Techno-Ancestrality. ⁠

Since 2020, the women-led collective Artcom Platform has developed practices of care for Lake Balkhash, a vast inland body of water threatened by over-extraction, climate change, and plans for a nuclear plant along its shores. Balqaş Jyry (“The Song of Lake Balkhash”) emerges from this initiative as a video essay spoken in the voice of the lake itself, articulating the ecological and political pressures shaping its present condition.⁠

Drawing on Qazaqlïq—the nomadic political tradition of steppe democracy grounded in mobility and resistance—the work reframes fugitivity as ecological method. The moving digital camera echoes the embodied perspective of riding horseback across the steppe. Presented within woven reed structures, called şym şi, the installation carries forward the collective practice of weaving as a form of shared knowledge and environmental stewardship.⁠

Through digital media rooted in steppe cosmology, the work proposes care as both resistance and continuity—listening to the lake not as a resource, but as a living presence.⁠

Come and visit us to see Artcom Platform's work⁠
