Building futures through collective creation
Lab5 started with five migrant artists in Germany who felt the need for a safe and open space to collaborate across different fields.
Innovation begins with courage
Coming from performance, architecture, design, and visual arts, we experienced how powerful it is to work together — first during our project Lo Residual en Escena in 2024, (Projekt Raum Coswig, Coswig Anhalt) now through this ongoing program.
Why We Even Exist
We believe in blurring boundaries: between disciplines, between theory and practice, and between the individual and the collective.
What We Actually Do
Lab5 is an invitation to co-create, to activate networks, and to rethink how art can be made together.
Carolina Böttner
is a transdisciplinary artist, cultural manager, and researcher. She is the founder and director of FlussLab, a residency platform in Berlin and Buenos Aires that fosters the intersection of traditional practices, scientific research, and experimental art. Her work explores the dialogue between artistic and scientific processes, combining visual arts, video, sound, and installation in collaborative, research-based projects. She holds a Meisterschüler degree from Städelschule Frankfurt, specializing in experimental video, and a degree in Image and Sound Design from FADU-UBA. She studied at the International Film and Television School in Cuba and participated in the Postgraduate Program in Contemporary Artistic Practices at UNSAM (Universidad Nacional de San Martín, Argentina). She is also the co-creator and coordinator of the first Diploma Program in Transdisciplinary Artistic Practices at the Universidad Nacional de San Juan, Argentina. Selected for residencies worldwide, her work has been shown internationally and often emerges from collaborative, transdisciplinary processes that blur the boundaries between disciplines.
Verónica Calzada
is an experimental designer and artist working at the intersection of design, technology, and material research. Her practice explores bio-inspired materials, light, and data-driven installations to create sensory and reflective experiences.
She currently works as a freelance designer and project manager, collaborating on digital and physical projects that integrate emerging technologies. Veronica leads the Visuals area at LAIA, the Applied Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where she coordinates creative projects involving AI and generative systems.
She is also a Materialization Mentor at FlussLab, supporting experimental approaches to fabrication, material exploration, and prototyping. With a background in Industrial Design (FADU–UBA) and Art Direction (AAAP), she has taught in makerspaces and interdisciplinary workshops focused on innovation and sustainability.
Her work bridges digital culture and material experimentation, seeking to foster collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable creative processes.
Daniela González Bellozas
is an architect from Buenos Aires, based in Berlin since 2024. She graduated from the Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo at the Universidad de Buenos Aires and holds a postgraduate degree in Construction Management (CAMARCO – FADU UBA). With over ten years of experience in public works and infrastructure, she has specialized in technical supervision, inspection, and coordination of operational teams, working with institutions such as ADIF, PAMI, and local governments on railway, hospital, and urban maintenance projects. Since 2019, she has developed her own jewelry brand, de.joyitas, where she explores materiality, technique, and craft through contemporary design. Her practice bridges architecture, art, and craft, critically addressing the intersections between city, body, and systems.
Carolina de Vega
is a choreographer and performer from Buenos Aires, based in Berlin. Her work unfolds through choreography, text, sound, and performance, shaped by surrealist collage, radical gestures, and critical engagement with physical states. She studied Choreography and Philosophy (UNA, UBA, Institut del Teatre) and completed her MA in Choreography at HZT Berlin. Her works have been presented at FAUNA, Bienal de Arte Joven, Feldfünf, UdK Halbhaus, Transversal Festival, among others. Through collaborative authorship, she explores human and non-human coexistence, rethinking identity, space, and modes of participation on stage.
Bárbara Bielitz
is a designer, artist, and mediator based in Berlin. Her practice explores feminisms through diverse technological materialities and unfolds in projects centered on FLINTA* communities. Drawing on science fiction as a space for speculation and exploration of possible futures, she develops works where the transfer of technological and artistic knowledge is central. She holds a degree in Industrial Design from the University of Chile and is currently pursuing an MA in Art in Context at the University of the Arts Berlin.
