They weave pathways between the myths and realities of possible worlds that are persistency emerging from a world in planetary crisis.

Their research-based and collaborative practice is situated in an interdependent web of ecologies and technologies, human and non-human beings. Within their work, queer methodologies are evoked to create immersive scenarios about possible futures; imaginative worlds staged as spatial and interactive installations, workshops, performances and audiovisual works. Their work explores themes such as queer ecology, glitch feminism, eco-poetics and more-than-human symbiosis. 



Erik is a guest curator of The Overkill festival in 2023 and 2024. They also exhibited their installation "The world's green is rotting Lime at The Overkill 2023 "

Gert-Jan Bos

Visual Artist and Speculative Designer born in Madrid.

From a very early age Ivan has used the language of comics as a means of expression.

The stories he writes and draws are build around speculative futures and digital dystopias. Giving images to complex and abstract concepts such as dataism, technofeudalism, post-nature, the ecological dilemmas it implies and the problems that these currents soak my generation is a key motivation for him.

Ivan is part of Shaman Garage, the narrative game studio supported by Sickhouse in 2023. Thanks to this program together with Pablo San Gregorio and the mentorship of Zuraida Buter, the studio created "
