SOAP is an artistic research collective working at the intersection of new media and critical spatial practice. Their work focuses on the exploration of digital environments, the politics of post-digital domesticity, and the ongoing tension between technology and intimacy. In collaboration with practitioners from architecture, scenography, and media art, SOAP develops speculative and critical experimental setups to investigate the pervasive presence of media technologies and their penetration of social and cultural spaces.

SOAP has exhibited at the Onassis Stegi in Athens, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in Los Angeles, the New Media Art Museum La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, the Centre d'Art Santa Mònica in Barcelona, CPH:DOX – Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, ETH Zürich, the Goethe-Institut in Beijing, and the Segal Center in New York, among others.
