The exhibition A ( ) Ω consists of 12 artistic perspectives that deal with faith, spirituality and the feeling of being 'moved' by something in today's world.

The 3D video work by the Dutch artist duo Bos&Lanting In Limbo takes the visitor directly into a surreal world, inspired by Davis Lynch's films such as Moulholand Drive and Blue Velvet.
The poetic film Kregr by Danish filmmaker Eva Rodbro deals with the adolescence search to feel something. She accompanies a Danish teenager in his preparation for a techno party, until his excess during the party on a forest clearing.
The artist PRICE moves his audience with his voice, singing his Greatest Hits in which he reflecs on Love, Sex and Contemporary Pop and R&B music.

The artist Noa Oliel composes various Youtube videos about religion, spirituality and other things that moves the peculiar human on one computer screen. A practice that mirrors how he conducts research in his own bedroom in his everyday life as an artist. His work consists of footage that people from different underground movements collect and share, as they being moved by it.
In a small dome, the artist Dania Michel sits and reads the visitors their future by using the Google search engine. While, in the entrance area in front of an altar-like installation with Walid Barbir's paintings a yoga performance by Yael Wicki and Manuela Minimarini takes place, reciting the subtitles of Chanel scents (from the Chanel Webpage) as a self-affirmation mantra, connected by different asanas.
