The audiovisual installation "Rotor" was inspired by the idea of a time machine. While our creation does not transport people to the past or the future, it does something nearly as impossible in the information age: It helps viewers stay in and more fully experience the present moment, embedding them in a kind of permanent present, by watching the imaginary rotation of a light cylinder. Its shape is inspired by the so called Tipler cylinder time-machine concept, which is based on the assumption that an infinitely long cylindrical material volume rotating along its longitudinal axis could create certain space and time warps, making time travel possible.

RE_SONANCE an audiovisual composition for old piano, biofeedback equipped performer and four empty music sheets

Development within the artist-in-residency program of Subnet 2017 at the Human-Computer-Interaction Center at the University of Salzburg, Austria.

An old piano was used and four blank music sheets capable to "remember" and modulate, through their shape, short sounds of the piano by using computer vision and granular sound-synthesis. The performer modulates the sound additionally through sensors monitoring in real-time the body movement, the level of stress and the heart-rate.
