Sparks is an awareness-raising project to show Europeans that they can get involved in science and that various stakeholders share the responsibility for scientific research and innovation. Led by Ecsite - the European network of science centres and museums - Sparks was carried out over a three-year period (July 2015 to June 2018) by a network of partners including science shops and science centres/museums active across the whole European Union and Switzerland. As part of the final Sparks Forum Aoife van Linden Tol leads a conversation on how arts and science can foster engagement.

Admission FREE with Festival Ticket
Book your place here
STARSTORM is a spectacular explosive performance describing the processes of the stars. Using research from the ESA about the composition, life cycle, magnetic behaviour and light production within stars, including our Sun, Aoife van Linden Tol has designed a powerful and beautifully poetic site specific performance. Using a range of explosive materials, each explosion abstractly represents a specific process or phenomena taking place, every moment, in stars all across the universe. The audience will be led on a journey around the venue and through a wonderful contrast of energy from exciting to meditative, from durational to instant, from order to chaos. Star Storm aims to create unique and lasting experience, giving insights into the universe we live in and inviting audiences to reflect on their own place within it.

Make Your Mark
Workshop and Participatory Event
European Space Agency, ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands
12th & 16th May 2017
Participants of the workshop will complete exercises and activities that introduce creative and conceptual ideas from Aoife van Linden Tol's artistic practice. The workshop will discuss the concepts of 'making a mark' in the context context of both historical impact of scientific work, of physical cosmic impacts the Universe and how the significance of such events continue reveal themselves over time. The group will choose and prepare documents, papers and print material which they will use to design an artwork which will then be subject to physical impacts during a live event in the Wintergarden the following week.
Using the Making Your Mark concepts ESTEC staff and guests are invited to a participatory event in which they can collaborate in creating a limited edition artwork that they can take home with them. The audience will also witness the artist and attendees of her previously held workshop creating a few larger works. These will be exhibited in the Wintergarden, ESTEC on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 May. This activity will offer ESA employees a peek into the artist's creative practice, as part of the art&science residency organised by ESA in collaboration with Ars Electronica.

SECOND STORY LINZ
SAT 10TH SEPT 2016
ARS ELECTRONICA: RADICAL ATOMS, LINZ, AUSTRIA.
Aoife van Linden Tol invites the residents of Linz to submit material for the second incarnation of her project Second Story which will take place at Ars Electronica Festival 2016.
The project explores the influence of words and images to create an explosive force within each individual as well as the emotional responses created when presented with literal physical explosions. The universal nature of both these this phenomena inspired Aoife to create a project which allows many people to continue their own dialogue with explosive forces.
First realised in Berlin in 2007 Aoife has long wanted to continue the project in other cities across the world. She hopes to uncover some of the collective and individual emotions and ideas of those living in Linz.
Aoife’s explosions in books and on paper create beautiful and often delicate accents, creating a mark or damaging the piece whilst keeping the integrity of the original object. The objects will not be destroyed completely.
