Once a month since 2021, the Humboldt Lab has been hosting artistic freedom to shake up the scientific point of view. Equipped with a microphone and amplifier, two slam poets stroll through the exhibition “On Water. WasserWissen in Berlin” to recite texts. Between a digitally animated jellyfish dome, a fifteen-metre-wide cinematic water experience, the 200-year-old relief of the Swiss Alps and a glass of water as if from Mars, visitors are taken on a “verballistic flight” through the science exhibition.
The changing artist duos of #Logoskop transform images from microscopes and periscopes around the world into a poetic show. They offer a deliberately subjective, heretical, humorous look at the exhibits.
If science is queen in the Humboldt Lab, then the #Logoskop is her court jester. With surprise, provocation and anarchic wordplay, the exhibition “On Water” will be both explored and taken for a ride.
The #Logoskop is curated and moderated by Bas Böttcher, the first German poetry slam champion.
If science is queen at Humboldt Lab, then #Logoskop is her court jester. Since 2021, artistic freedom has been making monthly appearances at Humboldt University’s exhibition space, using literature to shake up the scientific perspective. Equipped with microphones and amplifiers, two slam poets wander through the exhibition and recite texts.
This time, slam poets Lucia Lucia and Arne Rautenberg will be joining us. Together, they will comment on the exhibition ‘On Water’ with live recitations. Visitors are invited to accompany them on their tour of eloquence.

Lucia Lucia
Lucia Lucia attracted considerable attention in November 2017 with her performance ‘Mathilda’. The recording from the final of the German-language poetry slam championships went viral with over four million views and generated significant media coverage nationwide. Since then, the Hamburg city champion has been touring stages throughout Germany and Switzerland and is working on her first solo tour – with a clear focus on writing and performing.
She has been part of the poetry slam scene since 2015. Her performances have taken her to the Dockville Festival, the Deichbrand Festival, the Schauspiel Leipzig, the Hanover State Opera and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, among others.
In 2017, she reached the final of the German-language championships; the final text ‘Mathilda’, recorded by NDR, was clicked on millions of times. She can be seen regularly at the Nachtspeicher Hamburg with her solo show ‘Oh, aber ja’ (Oh, but yes). In 2019, her poetry collection ‘Texte, die auf Liebe enden’ (Texts that end in love) was published by S. Fischer Verlag.
She is also a co-founder and permanent member of the Berlin reading stage Neuköllner Brett, together with Aron Boks, Wolf Hogekamp and Jacinta Nandi.
Arne Rautenberg
Arne Rautenberg, born in Kiel in 1967, has lived there since 2000 as a freelance writer and visual artist. He studied art history, modern German literature and folklore at Christian Albrecht University in Kiel.
His main focus is poetry. His poems have been published in his own volumes, in renowned anthologies such as Reclam’s Book of German Poetry, Der ewige Brunnen (The Eternal Fountain) and the Yearbook of Poetry, as well as in newspapers and magazines such as FAZ, DIE ZEIT and Akzente. Many of his texts are also featured in school textbooks.
In 2016, he received the Josef Guggenmos Prize for Children’s Poetry, in 2017 he was accepted into the German Academy for Language and Poetry, and in 2018 into the German Academy for Children’s and Youth Literature. This was followed by the Culture Prize of the City of Kiel in 2020 and the Rome Prize of the German Academy Rome Villa Massimo in 2022.
In addition to his literary work, he creates collages, visual poetry and text installations, which have been exhibited internationally. His teaching activities have taken him to Kiel, Konstanz, Hildesheim and Leipzig, among other places; from 2006 to 2020, he was a lecturer at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel.
