Fully Automated Contact Zone

Two sites of rewilding - an attempt to rebalance ecosystems by introducing “wild foreign” organisms - collide inside a game-engine simulation: the Swiss Alps and my intestines. Created for dome environments and projection-mapped spaces, audiences are immersed inside ecosystems, zooming from the planetary, to the forest, to the molecular scale. Audio braids together scientist interviews, philosophical questions, and the artist’s intergenerational story.

The Bald Altuus

Auto-fiction portrait of a Romanian immigrant family settling in the United States in the 1980’s, presented as an infinitely-generative video game. Staged as an American TV sitcom on endless repeat, stock digital avatars perform increasingly dysfunctional variations on the family drama while haunted by memories of the Ceaușescu regime.
