PROJECT

Public Avatar a new project documenting the relationship between virtual reality and our perceptions of self and society. This installation will allow a global audience to explore real-world locations remotely, and to interact with objects and people in those locations through real-time control of a human test subject. As digital and physical worlds collide, the boundaries between self and other, reality and simulation are constantly challenged and redefined.

RoboVox is a large (8m high) interactive public sound installation using SMS for general public interaction. It will be installed in crowded metropolitan squares preferably on those carrying some social or even political connotation. Its purpose is to serve as a tool for an individual, who's voice usually gets lost in the sounds of the mass, the society. An individual can send a text message using his mobile phone to the dedicated RoboVox's number. Upon receiving the SMS RoboVox says out loud the statement, the protest, the declaration of love, or whatever the message may read, thus lending its voice to the anonymous individual.

Everlandia is a journey of a special/personal kind. It playfully confronts an individual with their fantasies, needs and desires. It challenges the imagination to pick and compose from those landscapes, plants and animals, which most accurate express the image of the individual's dreamland. Their Everlandia. The invented land remains the property of its creator and is saved on the web page. The visitor will be able to send it from the gallery as a postcard and of course keep it in their heart.

Pornogobelin is an attempt at reviving an all but forgotten bourgeois phenomenon of centuries past. By combining traditional techniques (needlepoint) and traditional motifs (erotica) the author approaches in a fresh and playful way the aesthetics of the digital format, which is these days largely utilized for dissemination of pornography on the web.

A multidisciplinary urban action dealing with the problem of media constructed reality.

The project consists of many phases (city light posters on city streets, web page and office of the AVBIA organization, petition, media hacking,...)
