2025-2026 CPH:LAB Projects
Anthrome
Anthrome is a data-driven installation, presenting desolate gardens of an offworld-colony as an analogy to technophilic utopian ideas of self-isolated societies. Mimicking the problematics and rewards such projects bear, a collage of the online discourse surrounding them appears on-screen, as the garden sways between fragmented and hyperreal.
SYMBIOCENTRIC AI – Mirrors of Embodied Knowledge
SYMBIOCENTRIC AI is a narrative, multi-sensory installation set in nature that explores the interplay between humans, AI, and the more-than-human world as a living web of relational intelligence.
It asks: What kind of intelligence do we envision in times of global crisis — beyond optimization and logic toward embodied, resonant ways of relating?

2024-2025 CPH:LAB Projects
Not so far away places
Based on 400+ hours of footage by activist Anya Karetnikova, this interactive documentary experience immerses participants in her work within Russian prisons, exploring resistance within a totalitarian environment, moral dilemmas of trying to change the system from within, and the banality of evil through scripted nonfiction scenarios
Scratching the Surface
An artist and single mother invites AI into her studio, sparking a clash between analog craft and machine intelligence. As she struggles to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world, she embarks on a deep exploration of transhuman creativity, asking if art can remain human when machines learn to create.
