Museum Night 2026 – Interactive Voices from the Deep Sea
We present Regionale 26, titled Frequency: Dark and Stormy, the interactive light and sound installation Artefakt by Lukas Schwartau and Gabriel Kleber on the platform, as well as a sound installation by Marc Lee in the basement.
At HEK, you can talk to deep-sea creatures and dance your own light choreography during Museumsnacht!
Artefakt by Lukas Schwartau and Gabriel Kleber
18:00–02:00, outdoor platform
Artefakt is an interactive installation that connects sensory perceptions and invites visitors to experience space in new ways. The cubic structure features a reactive floor that responds to movement and light.
Losing Oneself by Marc Lee

In this installation, deep-sea creatures have developed the ability to use AI models. They combine this knowledge with their own intelligence to communicate with humans and engage in audiovisual conversations.
