🍀OOBOO is a collaborative project between artists Bas Kosters and Aleks Bokova that centers on the symbolic quest for luck. In OOBOO world, luck is known as SCHSSS, representing good fortune and joyful existence - something every OOBOO inhabitant seeks. At the heart of this narrative are Ooophe, an egg in search of SCHSSS, who journey toward the tower of the two KRRRs to fulfill their goal🍀
Amid a world shaped by crisis and uncertainty, OOBOO explores how magical thinking and superstition can grant a sense of agency, offering comfort against the chaos of modern life. The exhibition creates a bridge between the organic and synthetic, blending materials and digital forms to evoke a familiar yet dreamlike tactility.
The collaboration between Bas and Aleks embodies a playful yet powerful vision, pushing their practices into new creative territories. Their dialogue throughout the process was itself a journey, leading to the development of a new world of characters that resonated deeply with both artists. Through extensive research into materials that are particularly challenging to recreate in the physical realm, they discovered ways to transform these into captivating digital sculptures. The synthetic and toy-like qualities of these works transport viewers into a parallel universe where reality feels tactile yet distinctly otherworldly. The exhibition presents these diverse digital worlds as a unified artistic experience, projected onto experimental textile screens. The immersive scenery is complemented by various textile artworks, including a series of fabric dolls and experimental seating elements.




















The exhibition "OOBOO - The Chase For Good Fortune" premiered at MU Hybrid Art House in Eindhoven from the 15th till 25th of November 2024. MU Hybrid Art House combines digital innovation with experimental artistry, offering a new vision of the creative possibilities within digital culture.
