Somewhere Inside the Machine There Is a Face That Looks Like You

This interactive installation feeds the participant’s image and voice into a real-time feedback loop. Latency, distortion, and noise desynchronize the self-image, exploring how identity changes when technology internalizes the human subject.

Co-Haviation

Exploring the relationship between human-made and natural environments through a bird’s-eye view, depicting a world of only birds and planes. Both rely on natural forces: birds use the Earth’s magnetic field, and planes radio waves for navigation.

The WildTech Experience

This interactive, tangible installation invites users to physically engage with the data produced during a situated design research study. The research explored the design of technology aimed at fostering joyful and caring human-nature interactions.

MetroLove: Beta 1.0

This video reflects on daily movement through urban transit. Inspired by commuting rhythms, it explores how acceleration and infrastructure shape emotions and desires. The metro becomes a metaphorical system where bodies, time, and movement blur.

RAUSCHEN

RAUSCHEN is a real-time generative media system exploring the probability space of a 1,000×1,000 image. Unlike image models that impose meaning using training data, RAUSCHEN examines patterns within noise, only humans decide what is worth keeping.

Deutschland: l’amour toujours

Desktop documentary on German far-right TikTokers (“Proud German Men”, “Proud German Women”, “Blood and Soil”). Three vertical screens show video supercuts; a central horizontal screen provides analysis, research methodology, and critical context.

The System Prefers Silence

A sculptural sound installation where a modified record player functions as an autonomous, servo-driven wire instrument. Capacitive sensing introduces noise and latency upon human proximity, treating presence as a disruption, not control.

About Ten Years from Now…

This installation maps personal memories of a distant homeland. From a bird’s-eye view, participants navigate drawings, photographs, and artifacts using a joystick, exploring poetic, dreamlike fragments of memory environments.
