The Hanged Man

“We’re surrounded by a tumult of often chaotic information. In order to help us feel in control, brains radically simplify the world with narrative.” ─Will Storr, The Science of Storytelling.

We have many opportunities to experience narratives in our everyday … Read More

AAR Augmented Acoustic Reality

Sound is a fundamental part of our sensory existence; it defines our understanding of space and location, yet its mechanics are invisible to us. This project reveals the propagation of sound in visual terms, the reflections and bounces of acoustic … Read More

Monozygotic

Monozygotic is an interactive light install embodying an abstract generative model that conveys the process of Epigenetics: How the environment affects our genome and how the human morphological phenotype extends out to the build environment through our behaviour and interaction with the environment.Read More

Variation of Memory

It is a public installation that explores concepts of varying levels of ‘self-presence’ and the distortion of memory through the interactive choreography of light on the surrounding environment. The project translates the motion and articulation of the observer into a … Read More

I.F.L.Y.

I.F.L.Y. is a project that envisions a future where robots are integrated into our daily lives in both the real and virtual worlds.

Taking the form of an autonomous flying balloon, this pre-programmed robot interacts with humans giving an illusion … Read More

Your Eye’s Motion by Luna

Your Eye’s Motion by LUNA i”‹s an exploration of human perception through robotic motion. The installation tracks the position of your eye and the direction of gaze as an input for controlling a small robotic arm situated inside an enclosed environment. … Read More

Whether you are an artist, designer, or architect, creative coding can offer … Read More

Élan Vital

A project exploring the notions of the invisible ‘Life Force’ that may occupy our physical spaces, the culmination of a series of experiments over fifteen months using interactive light artefacts infused with artificial life algorithms to respond to human movement. Employing elementary computer vision to capture human motion, data is parsed into three dimensional volumes using the technique of ray marching and illuminated onto reconfigurable spatial constructs.Read More

Mind and Space in Flux | Designing a physical interaction in a space with memory of the users’ experiences through time

During an architectural experience, the architectural space and the human mind infinitely interact. Spatial experience is a non-ending interactive loop where the perceptual space changes by the mind, and the human mind changes during the current experience. The thesis aims … Read More

Bad (Habit)at: Architecture as Action Forms

“The objects which surround my body reflect its possible action upon them.” (Bergson, 1988, p. 21)

As humans, we would like to believe in the autonomy we hold over our actions. However, we have to concede that we do not … Read More

Neoteny: A diary of documentation of my cross sensory relation exploration between body movement, posture and environmental context using bio-sensing

Acknowledging and reflecting upon how the 21st century discourses that shape the notion of body extension, this design thesis presents a quantitative documented work in which a woman experiments with the possibility of amplifying her autobiographical memories by interposing … Read More

(Un)Balance _ Mindfulness through movement-based interactive experiences in XR

This paper aims at exploring the potential of movement-based interactive experiences in XR to train mindfulness, and more specifically four of its main facets: Awareness towards inner experiences, Awareness towards outer experiences, Relativity of thoughts and beliefs, and Openness to … Read More

NeoTouch. An exploration of future haptic technology and the ethics and social norms surrounding it.

This thesis is part of a critical design project that envisions a future haptic communication device, NeoTouch, that enables people to touch each other at a distance. The project goes beyond imagining the technical development and the precise functionality of … Read More
