Map&Fold Night 2026
In programming, folding is a process that brings together different elements to create something new, while mapping pairs things in a way that allows for transformation. At the Map&Fold Festival, we take inspiration from these ideas to shape the future of art and culture.
On May 30, Schlachthaus Tübingen will once again transform into a space for audiovisual experimentation, performative boundary shifts, and collective energy. We at das Shining are excited to host Map&Fold Night 2026 – a night where art, technology, performance, and club culture converge to create something entirely new.
Between signal and noise. Between body and code. Between algorithmic precision and intuitive improvisation.
Map&Fold Night explores the intersections of audiovisual art, performance, and electronic music. Fragile structures collide with raw energy, abstract imagery dissolves into sonic landscapes, and perception stretches through hybrid aesthetics.
For one evening, Schlachthaus becomes a laboratory of collective experience. Lines fold into sound, visuals oscillate between abstraction and narration, and time expands within moments of intensity, immersion, and movement.
What begins as a focused performance environment gradually unfolds into something else entirely: an aftershow Tanztee where TIMODUFNER & ROBINRABAUKE take over and carry the energy deep into the night.
