We invite you to the presentation of the book Vibraception – Investigations in Wavespace, followed by a conversation with the author and editor-in-chief of the publication, Jan St. Werner. In addition to the author, the presentation will feature Petar Milat, co-editor of the edition, Damir Gamulin Gamba, the book’s designer, and Ana Škegro, curator of the author’s exhibition of the same title held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb in 2025.

We often think of space as static, defined by architecture, form, or function—but what if space were understood instead through waves, pulses, and resonances? Vibraception: Investigations in Wavespace brings together a range of experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding space precisely as shaped by such vibratory forces. Conceived as a companion to a series of site-responsive sound interventions recently realized by sound artist Jan St. Werner in and around MSU, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, this beautifully designed book documents and expands upon these sonic explorations from myriad interdisciplinary conceptual angles.

The core investigations in Vibraception have been conducted by Michael Akstaller, Rudyard Schmidt, Gascia Ouzounian, Brett Mommersteeg, Nikola Bojić, Damir Gamulin, David Grubbs, and Jan St. Werner. These are complemented by contributions from Louis Chude-Sokei, Marina Peterson, Madison Greenstone, Andy Graydon, Marta Pedišić Buća, and Ana Škegro. Book design by Damir Gamulin. The publishers of the book are K. Verlag (Berlin), Multimedia Institute – MaMa (Zagreb) and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb.
