Dancing Moon returns to TivoliVredenburg on May 8th at 21:30 for the Canvas Night retrospective featuring works from all four editions.

Dancing Moon
video mapping (five channels); 1:06 minutes
in the fourth season of Canvas
supported and hosted by TivoliVredenburg
@tivolivredenburg
Utrecht, the Netherlands, January 2026

curated by Julius Ponten

soundtrack: Samir Ait Moh
technical support: Mr.Beam studio

Observing the moon’s phases from a single vantage point over a month traces a shape that can abstractly resemble the letter N. This movement is a visual poem where the moon shifts, hides, and sometimes is obscured by clouds. In the vast sky of life, this remains a metaphorical reminder of constant alteration. Resistance is the constant negotiation between what is and what could be. Just as the moon maintains its orbit while it may be hidden, resistance is the act of holding a vision when the path forward is obscured.

Join us on December 11th and 12th for our next Chaos Cradle event titled ‘Mist’, an evening exhibition by artist-curator Foad Alijani. Within this film installation, Foad explores how perception shapes our understanding of memory by revisiting his eye surgery memories, and connects these insights to the different modes of sensing of aquatic life.

⏰ Opening times
Thursday 11-12, 19:00-22:00 (opening night)
Friday 12-12, 19:00-22:00

🔸’Mist’ is supported by CBK Rotterdam

🪼 About the installation:
Memory is a window through which we observe fleeting moments like fragile drifting clouds. The window is not a division; it is a perceptual apparatus. Through it, feeling pours in, washed with light or deepened by shadow. Each glance into the glass reveals a path worn by time, where the heart might pause, uncertain whether to linger in the glow or vanish into the dark. Memory is both a port and a bridge, holding the weight of the past and the weightlessness of what we have yet to understand. While a window opens passage and perspective for observation, it is in the focused act of perception that memory becomes the lens through which we apprehend the world. In this sense, the realm of perception could be seen as the eye’s contraption, where memory performs as its lens.

🐙 About Chaos Cradle:
Chaos Cradle is .zip’s program series and testing site for artistic research, experimental presentations and other works-in-progress. The program includes events of all kind – from screenings and panel talks to exhibitions and performances – to offer an intimate and informal space for sharing feedback, finding community and exploring new collaborations.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
