→ Imbue 🔗
How can breath become a shared sensory language that connects us?
‘Imbue’ is a multi-sensory installation that connects you to your breath, and yourself to others.
A mixed media generative system of improvised Dionysian inquiry.
‘We Experience Two Systems Navigating the Concept of Hedonism’ is a prototype for a portable, unscripted theatrical simulation where two systems grapple with the idea of hedonism together.
Their conversations, movements, and the cameras watching them all play out in real-time, improvised within the design of our system.
A generative installation exploring arrangements shaped through a light touch, chance and open outcomes.
Humanoid Counterparts 🔗
An investigation into our collective ego and the emotional need to create machines that look like us.
The visual development aims to heighten the feeling of the rapidly dissolving divide between human and non-human in our daily experience.
