The RESEARCHRAFT - INSTITUTE FOR ART AND SUBJECTIVE SCIENCE (FF) is anchoring at the control tower, Airport Berlin Tempelhof, where the current results from the Laboratory of Applied Falling (LAF) will be presented. The special focus of this department is the investigation of migration movements inside, outside and above Earth, focusing on moments and objects in a pending state between falling and flying. In addition, the Central Department for Control Rooms (ZAK) will be revealed for the first time in the 10 years of successful research activity of the FF. The Central Department for Control Rooms is a constantly transforming installation and poetic archive that allows one to experience a variety of experiments, observations and methods of the artist and her guests.

Originally founded 10 years ago the RESEARCHRAFT is a permanently altering meta-installation in the shape of an INSTITUTE FOR ART AND SUBJECTIVE SCIENCE. The institute deals with artistic reality research that manifests itself as performances, lectures and installations. One can have encounters with the institute in tents, on boats, on islands, on a zero gravity plane of the German Aerospace Agency, in museums, or even on a glacier*6. The content of the global research can be detected on the edges of familiar realities: inside holes, stones, clouds or under weightlessness.

"Sculpturing relationships with a society no longer requires the classical hammer and chisel but rather newer, better-suited and precisioned instruments such as in our case, the hammer and feather. With these tools, the sculptures of cognitive nature can be chiselled directly into the perception of the viewer."
