Kristallstimmen
2024
An interactive installation for Swarovski’s “Crystal Worlds Museum” in Wattens, Austria, features an array of 3,000 suspended loudspeakers, each clad in hundreds of small black crystals that get illuminated when in use. As visitors traverse the space, sensors detect their presence and turn on the speaker directly above them, which lights up and plays a voice message. Each loudspeaker contains a recording from a different company employee from around the world, speaking in their native language about their relationship to crystal, with over 100 languages represented. When no visitor is present, the installation is silent.

Reflejo Peatonal is a permanent installation consisting of two sections: the first consists of an array of LED battens covering most of the facade of the Puerta Polanco building, located in Mexico City. The second array is a LED-chandelier located in the street-level soffit.

Polar
2018
A circular display that converts a camera’s cartesian grid of photo sensors into a representation in polar coordinates (an angle and a distance). The piece has a radar-like rotation mapped to the baseline of the live camera to add an element of time, emphasized by a quiet ticking sound. The polar distortion produces an anamorphic representation of people in front of the work, with all of them sharing the same origin.
