A performative investigation of our universal connectedness<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Join a journey through time scales, where something emerges and something disappears – where spores, algae, fungi, and microbes become lichen. A slow community of magic shapes, soon covering 8% of the Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

Lichen Metropolis researches interconnection – how we are already partying with creatures, rocks, and metal. Our cosmos unfolds right here. And you are invited to lose yourself and step into this common creation process.<\/p>\n

The invitation is for everybody who desires more slowness – and who are curious to discover: We are all lichen.<\/p>\n

\"DorteABOUT THE ARTISTS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Dorte Bjerre Jensen\u2019s work as an art worker and educator is anchored in an evolving artistic inquiry into multisensory relations of attention through movement manifested as live art installations, site-specific work, activism, lectures, classes, workshops and writing. Dorte Bjerre Jensen holds an M.F.A. from the Danish National School of Performing Arts and is currently a PhD student at University of California Davis, Performance Studies.<\/p>\n

Dorte Bjerre Jensen\u2019s latest work Excorcitium, performed at The Neue National Gallery Berlin 2025, is a participatory performative space that is moving across the etymologies of exorcism and exercise to address the destructive structures we are currently facing.The piece asks: How can we be together differently as an act of resistance?<\/p>\n

Joe Dumit<\/strong> is an anthropologist of passions, performance, brains, games, bodies, drugs and AI. Chair of Performance Studies, and Professor of Science & Technology Studies, and Anthropology at University of California Davis, and Professor of Interdisciplinary Data Collaborations at Aarhus University.<\/p>\n

He writes books including\u00a0Drugs for Life: How Pharmaceutical Companies Define Our Health<\/em>, and articles on art and bully institutions, irrational computers, play and illness.<\/p>\n

He conducts practice as research with neuroscientists, artists, and contact improvisers in Denmark, Germany, California, Croatia and France on multimedia installations for social learning, napping, and togetherness.
