Her multimedia XXXperiences seduce us into a dreamlike hyperspace in which the digital sphere of the internet and the physical world merge.
They manifest themselves as sculptures, videos or installations that transcend conventional spatial boundaries and are imbued with the visual language of cyberspace.
They immerse visitors in their utopia and inspire introspection by creating a space of connection and belonging in which desire, love and the longing for community are interwoven.
Enveloping the viewer with multi-sensory experiences that traverse the digital-physical continuum, challenging the viewer to re-evaluate their emotional landscape and imagine an emancipatory horizon characterized by connectivity and freedom.

Enveloping the viewer with multi-sensory experiences that traverse the digital-physical continuum, challenging the viewer to re-evaluate their emotional landscape and imagine an emancipatory horizon characterized by connectivity and freedom.
The Internet serves as a utopian place of longing, a source of desire for liberation and community, which manifests itself in her works created through an interplay of online and offline material.
The real space becomes an extended virtual reality, a place of belonging that confronts visitors with their own emotionality and creates a sense of hope for infinite possibilities beyond the boundaries of the physical world, a space for connection and belonging where desire, love and the longing for community are interconnected.
Hannah Neckel studied Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts in the class Brigitte Kowanz / Jakob Lena Knebl and graduated with a Master of Fine Art in 2025
She is a member of the interdisciplinary artist-led collective room69 developing new and progressive exhibition formats, new media arts and installation

Since its creation, Eisenstadt Castle Park has combined nature and technical progress as a mirror to the world in a paradisiacal form. The Herzerlteich pond, romantically hidden in the park, is at the center of the exhibition ✮*-̩̩͙✧-̩̩͙*˚✧*˚ floating through reality ˚*✧˚*-̩̩͙✧-̩̩͙*˚✮, as a symbol of the symbiosis of technology and nature, man and progress.
The water of the future flows through the changing installation. In this way, Hannah and Lea Neckel create a space that makes it possible to dream present-day utopias and generate new realities.
Through the lens of hydrofeminism, they show how water connects people as a universal element, reflecting the role of the internet as a modern parallel of this force.

Ultimately, she is a sensual call to embrace softness, creativity, and collective dreaming as acts of resistance, towards liberation, to realise utopia in the now.

We need to be able to imagine - to make it real.
In online queer spaces, imagination runs free, directly from the source, where marginalized identities find refuge, exploring and connecting underneath the waves. Taking on avatars, the personal becomes abstracted in the virtual. Liberated from fears of repercussion and stigmatisation, exploration flows freely, uncovering what is hidden behind the surface. I reach out my hand towards you, breaking the tension, as the water rushes over us, uniting our bodies, just like our hearts have been united online <3

Based on the longing for liberation and community, they develop emotional exxxperiences based on the utopian potential of the internet.
In their work "˚₊‧。☆･ﾟ: *𓆩♡𓆪･ﾟ:* beyond the waterfall *:ﾟ𓆩♡𓆪 *:ﾟ･☆。‧₊˚lost in the stream of consciousness" the concept of fluidity is explored to the fore and break through the conventional notions of binary. The installation symbolizes binary in two spaces, connected and dissolved by the waterfall. The focus is on emphasizing community at all levels and using the potential of technology to transcend physical limitations and generate a new vision of the future in the collective consciousness.

Utilizing femme and queer signifiers and referring to Haraway's cyborg manifesto, the internet is rematerialized and presented as a refuge for marginalized groups, especially the queer community. By deconstructing the boundaries between human and machine, gender binaries, self and other, liberation cannot be confined to the patriarchal framework of gender. Complex humanity and gender are intangible and multifaceted, and technological advances continue to transcend traditional gender boundaries.
To truly transcend these limitations in our thinking and discourse, we must open ourselves to new ways of conceptualizing and understanding the physical space of gender.
The rooms of the OK become an extended virtual reality, immersed in the aesthetics of the digital subculture, it spills into the room as if it has sprung from a source, overflows and overlaps, merging with the environment like the layers of a Photoshop file.
