Sickhouse is a playful art space that explores the transformations of our society through digital culture.
Over ons
Sickhouse is a playful art space exploring the transformations of our society through digital culture. Interactive art, films, games and music are presented in our physical space or online through extraordinary events, exhibitions, screenings, festivals, let’s play, talks, meet up, research, parties... Founded in 2018, Sickhouse programs are developed as open research towards The Overkill festival. The interdisciplinary and participatory programs focus on play, experimentation and fiction as stimulators for discussions, connections and empathy. The participating artists and makers are explorators of virtual technologies, using gaming, films, mapping, 3D environment, social media… as their medium. Playfulness, flexibility and care are what make Sickhouse unique. The playful character of Sickhouse is reflected in the ever changing set up of our space, offering flexibility for our programs and wonder to our public. The visitors of Sickhouse are invited to express themselves in creative ways, inspired by the high quality projects and (international) artists we present. Sickhouse is looking for new and different ways of understanding each other, developing empathy and care. Its programs support reflections around identity, collectiveness, techno-ecosystems, our human condition in a world in crisis and in the process of digitalization.

Next Saturday 18th we have a special event happening online and onsite. The Ultimate IndieMash is a contest for #playfulcreators from all over the world a show for online and onsite spectators. It started three years ago as Sickhouse Eurogaming, a contest inspired by the kitsch aesthetics of a very popular European musical show, but we wanted to go beyond it and be open to creators from all over the world (without them necessarily representing their country). The Ultimate IndieMash is a celebration of diversity within the indie-game community, our aim is to present alternative narratives and playful concepts. Do you want to meet our contestants? We selected 12 projects from diverse corners of the world (including UK, USA, South Africa, South Korea, Argentina and Europe). They will present their creations and by the end of the show, the jury (Zuraida Buter, Matilde Patuelli, Karel Millenaar) together with the audience will vote for their favorite game. ✴ Louisa Teichmann & Sophie Allerding with Eixogen ✴ JB Gambier with The Sticky Glade 3D ✴ Younès Rabii & Florence Smith Nicholls with The Phaistos Discussions ✴ Claire Kwong with Between ✴ Loopntale with [Roro] ✴ Tim Buhrs & Jordy de Waal with Footsy ✴ Studio Bolland with Yeah I've seen that ✴ KatPatat undefined with BADABEAM ✴ Laura Palavecino with A World Without You ✴ Newlyz with Kitchen Royale ✴ Katerina Korre with Hydrofuture: Whispers from the Flooded Wasteland ✴ Sureksu with Blink and Die #playfulmedia #gamecontest #theoverkillfestival

After being closed for the winter, Sickhoes will reopen its doors to all our visitors next Thursday 25th during RMTnext, at the Rijksmuseum Twenthe. More than a year ago we started collaborating with the Rijksmuseum Twenthe, who invited us to take over the hoes, an annex in the back garden, to be the second location of the Sickhouse. And now, that we are still without a location of our own, it will be site of more activities. On this occasion, we present Sickhoes #5 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 with 3 videos exploring digital landscapes. In addition, Iain Douglas (UK), based in Enschede and teacher at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, and Mark Coverdale (UK) are coming to Enschede specially to present Katoenopolis, a poetic machinima in its performative form. All this, programmed in correlation with the exhibitions of the museum. Sickhoes will present a new program of metagaming videos and machinimas every 2 months. #machinima #sickhouse #metagaming #videoart #enschedeculture #cultuurenschede

A very clear article from Ernst Bergboer about what is happening in Enschede. If the intentions to support creative "broedplaats" are here, let's not be fools. If we confuse entertainments and culture we are loosing it all. It is Studio Complex that makes Enschede unique! ❤️ (article in dutch, use your tools to translate) #enschedecultuur #sickhouse #creatievebroedplaats #studiocomplex #freespaces #culture
Lees dit artikel. Het omschrijft precies wat er misgaat in Enschede wat betreft plek houden voor alternatieve cultuur. Er wordt nu commercieel iets "hips" ontwikkeld op een plek waar zoveel gavere dingen hadden kunnen ontstaan. Ofwel: "Het is daarom dat die twee open dagen van afgelopen zaterdag wringen. Er had in die drukpershal veel hips kunnen ontstaan waar de Enschedese samenleving ècht rijker van was geworden. De grap: dat gaat bijna vanzelf, als je creatieve makers maar de kans geeft. Die maken iets van niets. Dat is de kracht van de verbeelding. Nu leveren die twee open dagen vooral vragen op. Wat gaat er terechtkomen van hip Enschede?"

Without a physical space to gather, Sickhouse is still looking for different ways to be present, support its community and share playfulness. One could wonder why Sickhouse needs a space, when it could be nomad, but this position fails to see that the core of Sickhouse is its community. #anniversary #community #spacesforculture #playfulness
