In botany, nodes are connection points on a plant stem where leaves, branches, or flowers develop. It’s a structural and functional point for growth and expansion. A field is a place where flowers coexist and evolve into something larger than the sum of their parts. In the digital world, a field node is the canvas for digital codes visualized with a node system. Each node is a singular unit, holding its own command, yet it remains inert until connected. As nodes branch, link, and intertwine, the code grows more intricate, like roots or constellations spreading across the void.

The exhibition Field Nodes takes place on a slanted deck. Once a cargo ship carrying charcoal over the sea, now reimagined. The floor becomes a garden, a symbiose of the three sculptural practices of Vivien Hoffmann, Madelen Isa Lindgren, and Maria Helena Konttinen Nerhus, in collaboration with Manuel Schubbe and Imeon. The artists are following the leads of their material investigations, letting their works become personal navigation systems. Materialssuch as glass, leather, wood, geo- and biopolymers coexist in tension, oscillating between fragility and strength. Each artist seeking nodes of connection, both individual and collective.
