💡 Summary
Stockholm's underground metro station is a gallery of stunning art installations, famed as the world's longest art exhibit. Step into ANDETAG, and embrace an artistic journey as you traverse beneath the city's surface. Discover how this space challenges traditional gallery norms.

Stockholm’s Underground Art Experience

Hidden beneath the bustling streets of Stockholm, ANDETAG is a 200 m² immersive art installation located within the Hötorget subway station. This unique space invites visitors to slow down and engage with a labyrinth of rooms filled with dynamic light, sound, and textile art.

About the exhibition

At the heart of the exhibition are 50 internet-connected artworks that visualize a single deep human breath. The breath, recorded from artist Malin Tadaa during meditation using a special airflow mask, serves as the data foundation for each piece.

Crafted from handwoven optical fiber textiles, each artwork glows from within, illuminated by hundreds of LEDs and animated through a generative algorithm based on her breathing. They are also synced to the solar system: whenever two of the five nearest planets align, all the pieces shift color in unison.

Created by artist duo Malin and Gustaf Tadaa, ANDETAG is designed to be a sanctuary of stillness amidst the city’s hustle. The installation encourages introspection and connection through its interactive environments that respond to breath and movement.
