WIP Project Fair at the Bartlett UCL, Here East, London | 28 June 2019
The Entangled Eye features Luna and Laika, two robotic creatures with curious and animate behaviour programmed to elicit your attention. As the whimsical creatures chase for your eyes with unique kinematic expressions, the direction of your gaze orchestrates a conversation through the use of an eye-tracker, creating a complex system of entanglement within a wondrous environment. The indeterminacy of attention coupled with the animacy of kinetic movement constitutes the basis for our attempt at reconfiguring and understanding the perceptual experience of behavioural artefacts, and how we performatively construct meaning. While learning from one’s eye behaviour in the environment, our installation aims to expose the subjectivity of vision and perception, finding its constitution in the human as much as the machinic.

Sense #5 Experiencing Colour at Grow, London | 23 May 2019
Your Eye’s Motion by Luna is an exploration of human perception through robotic motion. With the use of an eye-tracker, the installation tracks the position of your eye and the direction of gaze as an input for controlling Luna, a lit-up robotic arm, situated inside an enclosed environment featuring an array of dichroic fins. The gaze of the viewer is mapped on the range of motion of the light clipped on the robotic arm to create an extension of the eye and take the body to places it cannot access otherwise, similar to an optical device.
The installation has been exhibited at the Anamorphic Waves event at Ugly Duck Gallery in Central London, at the Colour Sense event at Grow and The Bartlett Project Fair in East London.
In collaboration with Irem Bugdayci and Robert Wuss within the Interactive Architecture Lab, Bartlett, UCL.

Perceptual Mapping | 2019
Perceptual Mapping investigates human vision and its limits through an eye-responsive projection-mapping installation. The aim of this installation was to explore the field of vision and the immersion of the observer through projecting a map of the user’s eye’s motion.
In collaboration with Irem Bugdayci and Robert Wuss within the Interactive Architecture Lab, Bartlett, UCL.
Gale UR-10| 2019
Gale UR-10 is an exploration of the ephemeral, overlays of data, space and time through composition of long-exposure light photography controlled by a robotic arm.
In collaboration with Irem Budgayci and Robert Wuss within the Interactive Architecture Lab, Bartlett, UCL.
Eye-Plotter | 2019
Eye-Plotter is an exploration of the impact of colours on human perception and behaviour. The installation would track the eye of the viewer on project it onto a glazed screen changing colours. The coloured screen's system is based on the Pepper’s ghost’s illusion technique. The mapped eye of the viewer is reflected onto the coloured screen and highlights the viewer’s behaviour through his eye motion.
The Clock of Damocles | 2008
The Clock of Damocles is a 5 hour real-time performance exploring the perception of time through boredom and emptiness.
The Carcass | 2010
The Pourquoi-pas dock, located within the port of Saint-Malo is characterised by a strong industrial identity. The phantasmagorical cranes and machines give the site a magical and heavy atmosphere. The deserted dock inhabited by abandoned buoys and boat wrecks eroded by sea-salt make the site look tired and damaged by time but also powerful. Our intention was to reveal this notion of abandonment through this art installation made of steel which interacts with the wind and diffuses cold and metallic noises.
