The experiment resumes. This time, the focus shifts to sports science — a study of endurance, rhythm, and the breaking point between control and collapse. Expect athletic precision, lactic acid tension, and sounds straight from the lab floor.
On two stages, seasoned lab masters from the UK and Germany as well as local artists will help you reaching new limits with high energy Acid techno and guide your recovery cycles through chill cooldown tunes. Aided by the energizing sounds of the 303, let us awaken the athlete inside you — just make sure your lactic acid stays in check.
The space will transform into a research facility for body and senses, with contributions from test subjects, DJs, VJs, and installation artists interpreting the theme through their own experiments.
⚠️ RATA: high-intensity interval training sets, exploring the limits of acid techno.
💧 LEPO: the cooldown zone, where tempo slows and sound drifts toward experimental recovery states.
LOCATION: Helsinki area UG, easy metro access
TIME: 22 - 7
In the previous acid test, we found anomalies. Now we’re back to study them.

Anomalous Materials
People involved: Kaarlo Mäkelä
Welcome to the BMK research facility.
Proteins are organic molecules which are formed by long chains of amino acids. Their shapes contort as these amino acids interact in unpredictable ways. Even in rest, they keep exploring the space of possible shapes, vibrating, turning, breathing.
On display you can see how each protein moves over the span of 100 nanoseconds. These trajectories result from simulating the dynamics of protein movement, and are accessed from the ATLAS protein database. Feel free to check the different proteins and move the view to your liking.
Halajamme
People involved: Joonatan Valkama, with special thanks to Sami Kazan
Halajamme is an interactive explorative installation into familiar spaces, attempting to create a more intuitive way to interact with visuals and sound.
Taxonomy: Gatesi Gondii
People involved: Julia Sand
When the athletics of our time have gone through the eras of COVID, vaccines, 5G, moon landing, and Bill Gates, what can be found in their blood? How do the impacts of these factors intertwine with vitamin D and anabolic steroids? Take a peek yourself and examine the samples Robert F. Kennedy collected for us for the purposes of this research.
(Disclaimer: The artist themselves believes in science & vaccines, this piece is not representative of their views)
Fragmentum Primum
Since childhood, I've been fascinated by geometric shapes that sparked in my daydreams. This passion now culminates in my first interactive art piece, Fragmentum Primum, featuring 54 identical pieces. Play with my puzzle and see what patterns you can find out of over 58 quadrillion possibilities. Let your creativity flow when you dive into this interactive mechanism inspired by human psyche.

This is my recipe for the smiley face
During the first phase we explore some traditional 2000’s london acid sound, from which we increase the bpm with acid trance-ish influences.
Until we flow towards the last drill, the hydraulic press of the sharpest, fastest and sourest acidic drops of the modern era of 303 – combined with the tight ever-goosebumping classics.

"What test you say?" "Do I have what it takes?" "Does the facility have a locker room?". You might be asking yourself such questions. You might be asking yourself such questions because you have a vague idea of what's about to go down. What is certain at this point is that when this is over, you will need a shower.
