HEKA is a 80sqm chamber purposefully built to extract you from the boundaries of the material world, and provide an immersive space for you to get in touch with your senses and be present. The floors are designed for you to lay down on, and the ceiling provides a visual representation of any sound made inside the chamber.

Shows and concerts in the HEKA chamber are highly intimate as we wish to facilitate meaningful experiences for each and everyone. The audience is asked to lay down, so wearing clothing that allows for this is advised. Our wish is for people to be present in this experience, so mobile phones are not allowed. Cheering or applauding is also not encouraged as this is journey is more about yourself than the artist. The artist is only here to provide an auditory vessel for your own journey. Andreas Ihlebæk will play piano pieces especially composed for the HEKA chamber. There are no speakers in the chamber, so every sound you hear is straight from the source.

The shows last for about an hour.

Andreas Ihlebæk is an internationally renowned classical pianist & composer. He has been named “one of the most dynamic and boundary-breaking composers in modern classical music” by Apple Music. Gezeitenstrom Musikmagazin in Germany writes that his music “penetrates through every layer of the body.”Ihlebæk is in many ways the perfect artist to occupy and play in the HEKA chamber as his sensibilities and musical gifts bring out the true sensory capabilities of the visual component.

Steven Mark Kübler is the digital artist translating Ihlebæk's music into the physical realms. Kübler is a German new media artist who has quickly established himself as one of the world's leading talents in interactive art, transforming physical spaces to playful arenas challenging your sense of reality.

Marius Troy is a Norwegian multidisciplinary artist known for utilizing technology to build immersive aesthetic experiences that challenge your perception of what is real and true. HEKA is his first ever large scale installation.

We have built the HEKA chamber inside of Tad Galleri’s large hall. The gallery opened in September of 2024 and is a brand new addition to Oslo’s growing art scene. As a part of Tad Oslo, the gallery has a full bar and a beautiful space to hang out.

Tad is located at Drammensveien 130, Building B. If you are traveling with public transport the gallery is about 1 min walk from the Thune stop at Skøyen.
