This summer, Sickhouse takes over the Los Hoes, the old farmhouse in the backyard of Rijksmuseum Twenthe. The Los Hoes moved from De Lutte to the backyard of Rijksmuseum Twenthe in the late 1930s. After being closed to the public for a long time, the Los Hoes has reopened in the summer months since 2022.

In the farmhouse, now renamed to "Sickhoes," Sickhouse presents a selection of videos related to the museum's exhibitions and our research within the virtual world.

The program presented in the tiny cinema changes every month. Each month a Sickhoes opening, Sickhouse style will be hosted to introduce the new works in an interactive atmosphere. The audience is then invited to actively participate, engage and share.

marks the first iteration of our video program by Sickhoes, we selected three videos questioning our self becoming within the virtual realm. The work presented are talking about identity, virtual and artificial consciousness, human and non human collective futures.
