Goal Seeking consists of small simple robots with a vibration motor that are only powered through a solar panel and an external artificial light source. In a space to their own, the small, simple robots move around. Their energy cycle is wasteful, the space is confined and the movements of the robots are seemingly irrelevant, but through their number and the boundaries bringing the robots together, collective behavior emerges. Do we perceive them as singular senseless entities or part of a bigger (intelligent) collective? Without a defined goal, the seeking continues. Once the light turns off, all movement stops.

Remanence of a Grassland (2024) is a speculative sound installation consisting of electromagnetic coils, glass jars, permanent magnets, and control electronics. By pulsing the coils with alternating current, the magnets trapped within the jars may be manipulated in chaotic ways. The rhythm of the system is the result of a real-time computer program which simulates an artificial group of insects. Over time, the insects within the simulation listen more carefully to their neighbors and adjust the pattern of their songs accordingly. This modification of behavior reflects that of calling insects in the wild.

In the video essay, leak in the promiscuous machines and prurient governing entities is brought to the forefront as systemic vulnerabilities. We, as users and as citizens, are encouraged by the tech giants and governments to leak. A message to your loved one over the TCP/IP protocol is slutty. Audio and video signal cables are constantly radiating RF emanations. Our faces are reduced to facial features for machine learning, personal medical records end as image embedding in a training dataset.

Ancient instrument and machine - a Bedouin-futurist fusion of old rhythms, new sounds and grinded coffee.

PNCTM is a multimedia interactive installation that reanimates historical diaslides using AI and generative tools, creating a reflective dialogue about the impermanence and malleability of memory. The installation features three frame boxes with integrated screens displaying dynamic animations beneath historical slides, enhanced by interactive magnifying lenses and an immersive ambient soundtrack.

This work is an artistic research and experiment about dependent origination. The device produces the laser projection triggered by the Bluetooth signals nearby and reveals imperceptible but surely existing communication between machines that construct the moment in the area. When the audience reacts to the sound and laser pattern, the machine stops producing signals and becomes quiet. The machine starts talking only when people stop engaging and become silent and calm. Other beings we are unaware of are always there, but we can only recognize them if we pay attention.

“Mourning heat” is an performative installation, explores the living, the dead, and the in-between through heat. In the performance, each of the performers appear and explore the installation with ceramic tubes and find the resonance with their tube. Once all the performers have found proper heating elements and cries, all performers resonate with each other. The air in the resonating mourning device eventually cools and disperses into the surroundings as a stream of heat. Although the heat will cool, it will not disappear, but will exist in an invisible form, permeating the surroundings again as energy and warmth.

garden of forking paths is a speculative research into the fields of tension and resistance, heat and transformation, growth and entanglement. A matrix of printed circuit boards becomes the canvas for a dendritic maze. Covered by black thermochromic ink, each ramified path of the maze gets uncovered in response to a change in temperature. A fluid display that reveals, hides, grows and resists.
