The ‘Inner Worlds’ film series visits creatives in the places that inspire them
‘If you want to build complex worlds, it’s important to collaborate.’ For Thomas Bangalter, the co-founder of Daft Punk, Swiss-French artist Julian Charrière, and Berlin-based DJ and producer Rampa, collaboration is not simply a method of working, but a way of thinking. Bringing together backgrounds spanning electronic music, contemporary art, sound engineering, and club culture, the three creatives share a fascination with how people come together through rhythm, space, and shared experience.
In this episode of ‘Inner Worlds’, we visit the trio in the Berlin studios of Keinemusik and Julian Charrière as they develop Warehouse Artefacts, a new immersive experience for Art Basel in June. Moving between installation, sound environment, and rave, the project connects political history with underground culture through an archival recording of Eleanor Roosevelt reading the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the foundational principles of house and dance music. ‘It’s not an installation, it’s not a rave, it’s not a concert or an event,’ Charrière says in the film.
On Saturday, June 20, 2026, during Art Basel, art.klub will present Warehouse Artefacts, an immersive experience by Thomas Bangalter, Julian Charrière, and Rampa, staged as a deconstructed dancefloor bringing together transmissions from political history and underground culture. Warehouse Artefacts is produced by Nordstern Basel and presented in cooperation with Art Basel and Fondation Beyeler.
The installation will be on view in the Event Hall and open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 20.
As part of the evening program from 6-11pm, the installation unfolds into a rave with a DJ set by Rampa and Special Guest. For more info and tickets to the evening program, please visit artklub.ch.
Tickets for the evening are available here.
‘Inner Worlds | Thomas Bangalter, Julian Charrière, Rampa’ was produced by Art Basel in collaboration with Nowness.
The limited-edition Warehouse Artefacts t-shirt will be available at the Art Basel Shop and at Warehouse Artefacts, an immersive experience by Thomas Bangalter, Julian Charrière and Rampa, presented by art.klub at Art Basel. Set on a deconstructed dancefloor, it features an affirmation of hope struggling to be heard and a pulse that can still bring people together, relaying transmissions from both political history and underground dance culture. Reflecting on how meaning and community are produced during moments of crisis, Warehouse Artefacts is produced by Nordstern Basel in cooperation with Art Basel and Fondation Beyeler.
