THE INTERFACE at Monopol Berlin 2026
THE INTERFACE was presented at MONOPOL Berlin on 15–16 May 2026, transforming an industrial space into an immersive environment where sculpture, light, sound, video and performance converged into a single sensory experience. Developed by NOVAMAKERS, this edition marked a new chapter in the project’s evolution, introducing international artistic collaborations and expanding the dialogue between matter, body and technology. Visitors were invited to enter a symbolic landscape where physical and digital elements merged into a collective and transformative experience.
THE INTERFACE is conceived as an evolving narrative platform where art, technology and collective imagination converge to create shared symbolic experiences.
Conceived as an evolving narrative platform rather than a fixed installation, THE INTERFACE draws inspiration from archetypal themes such as consciousness, ritual, transformation and the search for a common symbolic space. The Berlin edition further developed the project’s mythology through the recurring presence of the star as a metaphor for guidance, connection and collective awareness. Technology is approached not as an end in itself, but as a tool for amplifying perception and creating new forms of relationship between people, space and imagination. Each new edition becomes an opportunity to experiment, grow and adapt, allowing the work to evolve alongside the communities and territories that host it.
