On July 4, 2025, Weronika Trojańska, artist and researcher behind the Event Swirl application, organised the second meeting in her ongoing series exploring this innovative project. Event Swirl emerges from Trojańska’s PhD research at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, conducted under the supervision of Prof. ASP Tomasz Opania and Prof. Dr. Hubertus von Amelunxen.
Joining Trojańska for this session were Magdalena Holdar, Peter Frank and Aga Wielocha. Together, they examined the concept of performing and preserving event scores, investigating how these artistic forms can be used today and whether it remains possible to store and maintain Fluxus’ legacy within our own bodies.
Event Swirl is an interactive communication method inspired by the main principles of Fluxus. Each user of the application can take part in a game/event (inspired by the Fluxus Event Score), in which the responses can be in the form of images, video or sound. During the meeting, you will learn more about the entire platform, why it was created, and how to use it, and we will also test live how it works!
Realized with the support of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage Republic of Poland and Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts and Design.
