Wind Tunnel Festival 2025: Do You Believe in Social Energy?

Do you hear the wind? Who hears the wind? How can we recognize a social breeze? Social energy never hurts… Or is it perhaps too exhausting? We’re searching for resonances and social energies that set us in motion, foster dialogue, and have the potential to transform us.

In May 23 and 24, 2025, the Wind Tunnel invites artists, scientists, and the public to come together and exchange ideas. Through open rehearsals, we’ll spend time with one another, exploring new insights and moments of connection.

We will approach the wind through sound, film, literature, and music, with contributions by Filipa César, Vaari Claffey, Lizeth Cordoba Adarme & Manuel Yawar Muyuy & Marine Gigandet, Florian Dombois, Julika Gittner, Natis, Helene Romakin, Chemi Rosado Seijo, Todd Sekuler, Elisa Silva, and U5.

The Wind Tunnel Festival is presented by ~tilde.

We wish we had a wind tunnel.

* This theme is strongly inspired by Hartmut Rosa's current research on social energy, and on resonance published in his 2019 book Resonance: A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World.
