Open Friday Tour
Ever curious about what really happens inside Mediamatic on an average day?The truth is, there’s no such thing as an average day here. Get a glimpse behind the scenes, peek inside our sensorial labs, and learn more about the bio-art installations around the Biotoop during our weekly tour on Friday!
During the tour, you'll get the chance peek inside our labs, in which we explore the possibilities of bio-materials for design, science and art. We will take you to the Clean lab, where we are currently focusing on the use of waste materials, as a source for new material.
Step into the Hydroponics Greenhouse, where herbs and edible flowers are grown for our restaurant TestTafel.
You get an introduction in the Aroma lab, our open perfume workshop and scent library where scent is explored as an artistic medium. Filled with both delightful and questionable aromas. From scents of myrrh, jasmine and vanilla to aromas that make you wonder why would anyone bottle that?
Wander through our gardens where living mycelium pigeon towers, the Pure Gold installation, the Al-Rihla mural, a Lampedusa refugee boat, and more than 200 plant species all share space, each with its own story and contribution to our biotoop.
During the walk, we will also talk more about the current exhibitions and growing art installations that you find both on the outside and inside of our building. At the end of the tour, we'd like to invite you to stay for a tea from our Hydroponics greenhouse!
