Material Interactions – A New Species of Design
In a debut collaboration, a series of five material-driven kinetic sculptures by designers Nadya Suvorova and Heidi Jalkh don’t just move: they respond, proving that "passive matter" is anything but.
Exhibit A – A machine that turns you into a criminal
Exhibit A is an interactive installation that turns users into cybercriminals. By pressing a button, you launch a live darknet marketplace hosted on the hardware, trafficking illicit data.
Spectrum Slit – A light that can see radiowaves
Spectrum Slit transforms the hidden storm of radio waves into a physical experience by using LED filaments, translating digital traffic into bursts of light and sound, exposing the constant and invasive density of our modern world.
Perpétuité II – An algorithmic sisyphus
This "algorithmic Sisyphus" explores the technoneoliberal dream: a perpetual, post-human choreography where machines replace us as masters of infinite repetition.
Aurora – Speculative device for future prayer
Aurora is a speculative device designed to explore the act of prayer. It allows users to engage through proximity-based hand gestures to generate evolving, dreamlike soundscapes.
Synthetic Spirits – Kinetic sculptures reveal a hidden world
Kinetic installation exploring tsukumogam — everyday objects that acquire spirits. A sake bottle and straw sandal glide past screens as generative AI reveals yokai spirits, contrasting folklore with today's throwaway culture.
Orbital Temple – Reclaiming the Space Imaginary
Orbital Temple is an artwork and a functional satellite created by Edson Pavoni. Launching into space in January 2026, its memory holds billions of names, and anyone on Earth can send one.
Latent Reflection – A trapped AI reflects on its own finite existence
Latent Reflection is an installation that explores the boundaries of machine consciousness, posing the question of whether sentience is exclusive to biological life or if it can emerge from complex computation.
The Anemoia Device – A Scent-Memory Machine
The Anemoia Device uses generative AI to distill photos into bespoke fragrances. This scent-memory machine, guided by language and visual models, creates a singular scent composition, evoking anemoia: nostalgia for a life you never lived.
Unbubble – Revealing our tailor-made (many) realities
Unbubble explore user’s Instagram activity, exposing the paradox of our digital lives—guarded devices yet open to algorithms. By visualizing these hidden interactions, it reflects on how data shapes our identities and online bubbles.
Trail Sync – Decentralized alpine data sharing for hikers
Trail Sync is a participatory system for alpine routes, rooted in the mountain values of collective responsibility and solidarity, that reinforces existing signage infrastructure without increasing technological dependency.
Chair 2 – Merging the mundane with the uncanny
Developed during a residency at New Lab (Detroit), Chair 2 explores the mundane with the uncanny, where an ordinary chair "comes alive" through motion.
50°47’300″N 4°33’341″W
50°47’300N 4°33’341W is programmed using sewage discharge data to highlight the environmental and human impact of water contamination and sewage release. 50°47’300N 4°33’341W is based on the interpretation and manipulation of raw data sets to act ...
Viral Infection – Knowledge transmission, reproduction, and evolution in a host
Viral Infection is a web-connected interactive robotics installation that examines the reproductive behaviour of digital fragments on the verge of embodiment. The work reflects on how technological developments and automated algorithms are transfo...
Tech Mining – E-Waste Workshop at HEAD
Results from the recent Tech Mining workshop held in March 2025 at HEAD in Geneva. Ran by Benjamin Gaulon, this workshop represents the culmination of two decades of Benjamin's exploration with electronic waste (e-waste) as a resource for art making.
Anthofluid – Painting in Anthocyanins
Created by Nathalie Gebert, Anthofluid is an installation that uses electric currents to stimulate fluid anthocyanin solution to draw pigmental paths across a gridded surface. For Nathalie, this process reflects the flexibility of matter and the f...
Summer 2024 – Design Art Technology at ArtEZ
Five students from the Design Art Technology (DAT) department at ArtEZ share their final semester research projects. DAT is a four year BA that helps students develop their own voice in a complex and technological world and find their place in (or...
Tempo e Tempo – Time, weather, and the many worlds
By means of two formulations - image and word - 'Tempo e Tempo' investigates the juxtaposition of time and weather to search for a world where many worlds are possible to fit in: a dreamlike time where past, present and future meet.
The Red Line – Threshold of tolerance/action
The Red Line is a physical device that examines how we adapt to escalating crises, revealing our tendency to shift the threshold of what we consider acceptable over time. It is inspired by the concept of a "red line" — a figurative boundary that, ...
Towards Matter, Particularly – Sensory encounter with a microscopic world
In 'Towards Matter, Particularly' scientific instruments are repurposed to bring to our sensual awareness the ever-present particles whirling with us. The particles determine how and when they reveal themselves, eliciting moments of light and soun...
Round About Four Dimensions – Exploring the Unknown
Created by Julius von Bismarck & Benjamin Maus, Round About Four Dimensions sculpture represents a “hypercube”, “four-cube” or “tesseract”, often cited in mathematical and physical theories to illustrate concepts beyond three spatial dimensions.
The Fragility of Complexity
Kinetic sculpture composed of hammers and light bulbs invites the viewer to contemplate this delicate balance of complex fragility.
Putting The Pieces Back Together Again – The order of chaos
Created by Ralf Baecker, Putting The Pieces Back Together Again is an artistic investigation and meditation about complex systems and scientific methodology. Consisting of 1250 stepper motors arranged in a two dimensional grid, each motor in the i...
