  • In the audiovisual installation confluxus [+][×] corner portals, (at the RIXC Gallery, Riga, Latvia), two stereoscopic 3D projections transform the gallery’s 90° corner into a simulated zone of transition and confluence. Dynamic structures emerge within an illusory expanded spatiality on both sides of the wall planes as elemental flows, flares, and ephemeral spatial formations. The work indirectly points to the increasing role of code and algorithms in contemporary governance and communication practices—systems where information flows are constantly restructured for the sake of efficiency yet remain prone to misunderstandings, inherent errors, and inconsistencies.
  • Exciting visit to Linz, Austria - as part of my ERASMUS+ visit to Johannes Kepler Universität Linz this week, and catching VINCI2025 (The 18th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction) which took part in 3 locations JKU Linz, Ars Electronica Center, Kunstuniversität Linz - I was presenting my paper 'Bridging Immersive Analytics and Affect: Audiovisual XR Sceneries of Financial Transactions' (soon open access via ACM DL). I am still in #Linz Thursday, Friday - If you want to discuss art+research, 3D projections, data viz/sonification, let me know, new knowledge, insights and networking are main reasons for the trip ;)
  • Back from Linz and Ars Electronica 2025, carrying good memories and new acquaintances and friendships... with a touch of sorrow as I cast a final glance at the PostCity interiors—this former postal distribution center at Linz Main Station is finally set to be demolished
  • #Audiovisual XR study/étude from series (2022-2024) for installation & performance using stereoscopic 3D projection and financial transactions as data
