Paillard Punch is concept centred around punch cards and connecting the past with the present through sound. Each visitor will receive their own punch card onto which they can perforate a unique pattern. They can then put them into the card reader and the pattern they punched will appear lit up on a linen screen.

Protagonist-Antagonist consists of earthenware collection copied through the process of 3D-scanning and 3D-printing. These clones, the antagonists, were placed in front of the archaeological objects. Visitors could take these objects in their hands and with their fingers follow the traces drawn half a millennium ago while looking through the glass of the vitrine at the real untouchable object. The 3D-printed clones thus mediate the archaeological objects through tactile feedback.

RFID Timeline is a new way of retrieving and showing activities. This system allows one to physically interact with digital documentation. The RFID-tags give visitors a handle into a digital database. Each event is reduced to a moment in time and a number. Only when the visitor gives the archive event his attention does the richness of that past moment erupt when the machine speaks its story and beams its visions. 

A Magnetic Curtain you can shape to any form. Through the incorporated structure and magnets, it stays in the shape you push and pull it to.

The Good Night Lamp project is a family of lamps which allow people to communicate the act of coming back home to their loved ones, remotely. As you turn the bigger light on, your presence home is indicated to your friends whose smaller lamps turn on as well. Inversely, the smaller lamps that you’ve collected from your friends will turn on/off as they come home, go out, go to bed. You’ll never come back to an empty home again.

Cloudscape explores the poetic nature of clouds by controlling the microclimate of a space. A layer of artificial clouds are made to hover above the ground level, remaining in balance above the heads of the viewers. 

The Aurora Consurgens Project articulates a visual and sonic installation, sounds that are diffused on a binaural mode, and that transforms the space around, according to the laws of standing waves behavior, and people movments.

The Invisible Sphere contains 215 monitors and 215 cameras. Each camera is opposite to the monitor it feeds.  The sphere constantly recreates its surroundings on its monitors from every conceivable angle at all times.  The sphere is reflection of media’s attempt to remain revealing as it grows in power and becomes increasingly omni present.    

With Invisible TV all the screens in the sculptures have an associated camera on the other side of the object. When the viewer looks into a screen they see directly through to the other side.

Measuring Angst is a sculpture made possible via a system of armatures similar to those one might find within the prehistoric animal exhibits in a natural history museum. They will differ in that they will be mechanically driven and allow for varying positions of the broken marble pieces. A system of electronic drives, stepper motors, ballscrews, linear shafts and computer software similar to what one might find in a high-tech assembly plant provides the movement.
