Every year, V2_ invites a small group of up-and-coming artists to spend
their summer in the V2_Lab for an intense short-term residency. During
these so-called Summer Sessions, the selected artists are given the
opportunity to (further) develop an artwork in close collaboration with
V2_'s expert developers, curator and project managers.

This year’s Summer Sessions welcomed artists Anouk Wipprecht, Joachim
Rotteveel, Mark Shepard and Ivan Henriques into the V2_Lab to work on
projects in the fields of augmented reality, wearable technology, and
ecology - the three central research themes of the V2_Lab. By holding
the residencies in parallel, V2_ aimed to promote a creative synergy
between these up-and-coming artists. The outcome of this synergy will
showcase in this special summer edition of Test_Lab. As it is custom to
V2_’s Test_Lab, the four residency projects will be demonstrated live
and the audience invited to assess the works hands-on.

And if that’s not enough, refreshing cocktails will be served to
celebrate the end of summer, and the beginning of a new Test_Lab season
at V2_!

This event will be streamed live at www.v2.nl, September 2, starting at
8.00 P.M. CET.

Test_Lab is a bi-monthly public event organized by V2_ that provides an
informal setting for the presentation, demonstration, testing, and
discussion of artistic research and development (aRt&D).
