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.
TreeSoil – Robotic 3D-printed earthen microclimate shelter for saplings
TreeSoil is a 3D-printed earthen structure that shields young trees in degraded areas, creating microclimates for early growth. It revives ancient soil-shaping practices through computational design and robotic fabrication.
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.
Behind the Screens – Swipe, twist, and zoom
A series of works by Ludwig Dressler where he explores the transformative power of digital technologies – both on the individual and on society. The focus here is on the three most important smartphone gestures – swipe, twist, and zoom – as symbol...
Histolysis – Pulsing in peristaltic rhythms
Histolysis is a kinetic installation that engages nonhuman systems through attunement rather than control. Suspended above the floor, its root-like structure pulses with quiet, peristaltic motion.
War – Confronting conflict as it is spoken
War is a near real-time, physical manifestation of the language of conflict. It delivers quotes from news coverage of wars around the world, stripping away context and narrative to present war as it is: familiar, messy, and contradicting.
CWXT – Color Weather Translator
CWXT is a ambient interface that translates live weather data into color, offering a sensory alternative to traditional forecasting data. It operates using the OpenWeatherMap API, fetching live weather data for a user-defined location.
Komorebi – A swarm of artificial creatures that make music from shadows
Komorebi is a swarm of artificial creatures that make music in response to the sun, the clouds and the shadows of trees moving in the wind. The work suggests that “life” is not an exceptional property of organic life forms, but also a property of ...
Models of Crisis – Embodiments of a mental struggle
Models of Crisis is series of three generative kinetic objects-poems that externalize and embody the thoughts and feelings of the artist undergoing an existential crisis.
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...
Archives of Memory – Shadow bodies in the digital age
Amay Kataria reflects on his participation in the ambitious exhibition exploring South Asian art's profound impact on Chicago's cultural landscape. "What Is Seen and Unseen: Mapping South Asian American Art in Chicago" at the South Asia Institute ...
Picky – A judgemental trashcan robot
Created during a month-long robotics module, Picky is a judgemental trashcan robot designed by Juwon Jung, Nefeli Vitoraki, and Xiangnan Wu. With a side-eye for recycling mistakes and raised eyebrows for correct actions, Picky provides a novel for...
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...
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, ...
Liminal Ring – (Un)controllable currents in the persistence of chaos
Liminal Ring visualizes humanity's obsession with controlling nature while exposing the limitations of such interventions. By introducing laminar flows—artificially directed streams—into naturally occurring turbulence, this project explores the bo...
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...
Sorn-Lai – Technosphere and post-singularity
"Sorn-Lai" is an immersive narrative set in a post-singularity world where biology and technology merge. In the White Forest, life fuses with AI and biotech. Through a researcher’s journey, it explores ethical and sustainable implications of our t...
NUCA Camera – AI Powered “Natural Nudity”
NUCA is an AI-powered camera that captures individuals in their purest form – no clothing, literally stripped down to their authentic selves in their natural state.
MEMOGRAM – Time(text)capsule camera
Created by Jamy Herrmann at ECAL, MEMOGRAM is a (non)camera that prints our images in the form of a written description, inviting users to (re)discover those moments in images.
RE:PLACES – Liebl and Schmid-Pfähler
