Dreamality is a 3D real-time computer-generated, interactive virtual environment. In this project, users can move through surreal dream worlds and manipulate objects contained in them through various interactions. In order to enhance the immersion of its virtual worlds, Dreamality was also made compatible with Oculus Rift VR glasses.

Hybrid Sensorium explores the way we sense our body within physical space and the sensory distortions caused both by mediating technology and direct contact. The artwork is placed in immediate physical contact with the visitor, both thus becoming vulnerable to emotional contamination.

A fabricated structure is superposed on the natural medium of the body, an artificial, permeable membrane that tries to condition our biological needs in an osmotic feeding ritual. The organism tests our willingness to cede personal physicality to a constructed environment, a suspended reality caused by a gap in the objective reality. You can interact with it by inserting your head through its orifice. The cavity responds to your breathing rhythm in real time, trying to adapt it to its needs, while the breathless visitor will enter a cycle of sensorial aberrations.

Chains is an interactive installation dealing with the bitcoin cryptocurrency. Based on experiments with automatic trading systems, the artists developed a system to visualize and thereby study the principle of block chains.

The participants can experience fluctuations in bitcoin values via sound and images in real time and interact with an automated transaction algorithm enabling them to manage bets and receive virtual payments according to their bet. In doing so the installation also raises critical questions about contemporary finance and trading systems.

Chains was developed at ZKM of Karlsruhe, Germany and was exhibited at GLOBALE: New Sensorium. It is an evolved version of the 2013 traders installation that was developed as a follow-up project and visualized Tokyo’s stock market live.
