Toki Ori Ori Nasu – Falling Records
In this work, open reel tape recorders are placed on top of high pedestals and, as they play back, the magnetic tape unspools down into plastic receptacle below. The tape that accumulates in the container piles up as time passes, weaving an unusual pattern in the space. When the tape stops accumulating it is wound back up at high speed to a symphonic soundtrack. The pattern that had existed until then is extinguished and a new pattern is then woven.

Windvogel
WINDVOGEL are energy generating kites which create up to 100 kW and can supply about 200 households with green energy. Floating in the air, the smart kites move around and are connected with a cable to a ground station. This push and pull of the cable transforms into electricity, like the dynamo of a bicycle.

Pre(N)atura | Fonocene – Mexico
Speculative audiovisual project inspired by postnatural studies, designed to explore the era of the Fonocene—a period where both human and non-human sounds define sensory experiences and interspecies interactions. In this narrative, Chthulucene beings, hybrid creatures, emerge to challenge traditional forms of communication, using listening as a tool to activate our awareness of interdependence.

Fog Sound Environment
Fog Sound Environment is a site specific installation originally conceived for the foreland of DordtYart located nearby the junction of the three rivers that traverse Dordrecht. In this experiential artwork real fog is being created by pushing water under very high pressure through hundreds of nozzles. The fog system consists of independent sections that surround the foreland. The timing and distribution of the fog is part of a composition system that incorporates the on-site wind direction in real-time. The fog is dispersed across the, by high trees and water enclosed, grassy terrain . The behavior of the fog is under direct influence of the local weather; sun, rain and wind all have their influence on the behavior of the fog and experience of the work.

Can we design future memories for the body?
Is the body itself the apparatus for remembering cultural processes?Prospectus For a Future Body proposes new perspectives on how the body remembers and invents technological narratives. Central to the project is the study of body movement in dance: How it can evolve, adapt or re-condition to possible futures?Eternal Summer Storm explores the concept of muscle memory transfer as an alternative form of interactive cultural continuities. This concept prototype speculates on a future digital library of body movements or dance techniques that can be experienced beyond the audio-visual conventions. Eternal Summer Storm attempts to recreate legendary Japanese dancer Tatsumi Hijikata’s Butoh dance choreography and experience in ‘A Summer Storm’ (1973) from archival footages.Bionic Movement Research is a collection of experiments on the process of designing digital muscle memory for the body. Inspired by Luigi Galvani discovery (1780) of animal electricity in the human body, these experiments appropriate the techniques of electrical nerve stimulation to choreograph artificial muscle contraction and body movement.

Immaginazione Morta Immagina
Una testa androgina è proiettata come contenuta all’interno di un cubo minimalista. I suoni della testa che respirano lentamente riempiono lo spazio. La testa è serena, in attesa. Improvvisamente una sostanza si riversa su di esso da tutte le parti, inzuppandolo in quello che sembra essere un fluido corporeo. Lo spettatore vuole distogliere lo sguardo ma non può, lo sguardo è costretto attraverso l’invocazione della pulsione scopica. L’orrore per la natura ripugnante della sostanza (l’abietto) è sostituito dal fascino per la bellezza di quello che potrebbe essere considerato un sublime contemporaneo.

Altering Features with WH5
Корейский скульптор Хюнгку Ли никогда не расщеплял атом, не создавал космических кораблей и не нырял в глухомань человеческого ДНК. Он художник, а не ученый. Несмотря на сей факт, его искусство имеет к науке непосредственное отношение. Оно питается фантазиями прагматичных романтиков в белых халатах, смешивает их с поп-артом, современной скульптурой и футуристическим мышлением о межгалактическом грядущем.
