Performance led event & Symposium | Switzerland / Worldwide.
Status: development
The incident is a performance-oriented symposium, that connects a multiplicity of locations, themes, and personalities through a common story: transcending human consciousness: the edge of what is possible and what is unimaginable: the mingling of truth with feeling, intimacy and cosmos, science, nature and art. Five main themes carry a multiplicity of visions: biosphere, psychedelics , virtual / tech / ai, extra-terrestrial, parapsychology.
The Incident 3 takes its roots from the phenomenal encounter held in 1995 in Fribourg’s Belluard fortress, Switzerland, within the frame of Belluard/ Bollwerk Festival. Major figures from the worlds of art and technology alongside researchers in unexplained phenomena, covered areas from parapsychology, ufology, dreams, and other subjects that concerned the exploration of human consciousness. Invitees included James Turrell, Terrence McKenna, Jacques Vallee, Urike Rosenbach, Roy Ascott, Michael Lindemann, Kathleen Rogers, Keiko Sei, Jeremy Narby, Kristine Stiles, Budd Hopkins, Marko Peljhan, Robert Fischer, H. R. Giger and Michael Heim.

October 2021
Organised at GATE blueFACTORY, Aspects of reality gathered a local audience during 5 days, to the sharing of knowledge and artistic experimentations around REVES prototype, creation process led by Xocolat since 2019.
The themes of exploration of REVES allowed to gather around guests such as the French sinologist Cyrille Javary, on the occasion of the hybrid conference “Le souffle du pinceau”, and to meet the curator Rob La Frenais and his team, for a journey of recollection (according to the photographic archive of Eliane Laubscher) of “The Incident”, organized during the Belluard Bollwerk in 1995, about virtual reality, the limits of consciousness in art, the impact of technologies and U.F.O.
Calligrapher Inès Igelnick presented a performance of Chinese calligraphy and a public meeting, included in the programme thanks to the collaboration with Galerie Cathédrale.
Children and families were able to take part in the artistic dynamics of the meeting during the Chinese ink painting workshops led by the illustrator Frédérick Mansot.
The REVES prototype team shared their work, staging an immersive journey through layers of paper, text and audio-visual projections, following little Tang’s journey through ancient China, dreamlike reality, and the learning of ideograms.
